Serina Suvila from Turku is the first married Miss Finland semi-finalist.
Serina Suvila23, years ago, the happiness of the engagement was also overshadowed by a small disappointment.
– I remember when my husband Ben proposed to me, I told him that I can no longer participate in that Miss Finland contest. I didn’t say this in that engagement situation, Serina laughs.
Serina could not guess that there would be a big change to the rules of the traditional beauty pageant.
– My husband said that you can imagine in your thoughts and dreams that you would have made it (to the competition) one day, but then this moment came. This came at the perfect time, because I’m graduating as a nurse at the end of the year. Then the doors are open, says Serina.
Serina from Turku is the first married Miss Finland semi-finalist. This year, Miss Finland can also be married and have a family. The rules of the competition run in the wake of the Miss Universe competition.
Serina has been married for almost two years. The change in the rules of the competition makes him happy.
– Absolutely top notch. I always really admired misses. I knew that married people were not allowed to participate and that was fine by me. However, the world changes and now these competitions too. The new rules bring different opportunities and people into view, says Serina.
Serina used to live with her husband in Switzerland, but in the future her partner may move to Finland.
