Orlin Goranov is perhaps the only one who carries a photo of his mother-in-law in his wallet. The singer sincerely loves her, and the sympathy is mutual. Just on her 50th anniversary, the performer of "The world is for two" married her daughter Valya, with whom they have been together for 34 years. The singer and his beloved said "Yes" on the memorable 9 September. The actress Katerina Evro and her husband Georges, who died years ago, were their bridesmaids.

"There's no need for us to be boyfriends anymore. It's time to get married, Valya told Orlin after they had already been a couple for 2-3 years. They got along great, didn't fight at all and decided it was time to get married. So you could say she proposed to him. The singer, who celebrates his 67th birthday on August 8, pondered whether to accept, he shared with a sense of humor, mentioning that he was only 33 at the time after all. Of course, he decided on a wedding without hesitation . He did not think at all whether the marriage would affect his career in any way.

It turned out that there is an influence, but a positive one. To this day, Valya is his most honest critic. He is the first to hear Orlin's new songs and spares him nothing, while making his remarks directly. That is why the singer, who has been the host of the quiz show "The last one wins” on BNT, is grateful to her and even seeks her opinion.

Orlin and Valya met at the home of Katerina's cousin Evro. The singer, who was already known for his duets with Christina Dimitrova, was visiting with friends when the hostess decided to invite Valya as well. She didn't tell her that the contractor would be in their company. So the blonde, whom Orlin had said was a copycat of ABBA's Agnetha in her youth, was quite surprised when she saw him. They liked each other immediately, but it took time before their acquaintance developed into a love relationship. They often saw each other around their mutual friends. They gathered mostly for home parties or the company went to Orlin's performances in Sofia, which were every other day. "I liked him a lot – he was even then a handsome man, with a special dignity and dignity, but also great fun“, Valya admitted about the period before their acquaintance. She was his fan and even knew his songs, although she had not been to his concerts.

When they decided to have a wedding, Orlin and Valya had no doubt that Kateto Euro and her husband Georges should be their best man. In fact, the actress herself insisted. However, Georges didn't want to wear a jacket, never mind that it was a wedding and he was going to be best man. The bride-to-be managed to persuade him to wear a jacket over a T-shirt. So on the evening of the party, after the solemn lunch with the relatives, Georges took off his jacket. The wedding was memorable – laughter, tears, songs and crazy dances.

"I stopped counting sunrises and sunsets a long time ago, because what matters is in my arms," Orlin wrote in July of a summer vacation shot with his wife. The singer and his wife, who have a daughter Jacqueline, manage to pay more attention to each other when they travel, so their annual vacations are a must. This is also the time when Orlin Goranov indulges in his hobby – sailing. Sailing brings him peace, the singer shared.

He and his wife do not neglect their friends. They even go on vacations together. Among their closest friends are the singer Alex Raeva and her husband and, of course, the godmother Katerina Evro, who is also the godmother of Orlin and Valya's daughter. The actress was among Orlin's guests at his modest birthday party. "Gram I don't think about the past, because we are here and now! What I wish for myself, my loved ones and you is health! Nothing else matters. Thank God for every single breath!“, Orlin shared on his holiday.

He is currently on a tour celebrating his 50th anniversary on the music scene, which will end with a concert-performance on November 19 in Hall 1 of the NDK, recalls HotArena, cited by plovdiv24.bg.
