Real Bride Priscilla said “I do” to Vincent on an undeniably dreamy day—Valentine’s Day! It only made sense, as their first date was on Valentine’s Day in 2019. This pair certainly LOVES love. From friends to lovers, Priscilla and Vincent’s special day was all about their most special memories. An Irish pub, a pizza spot, live music and personal touches made their wedding day absolutely iconic. Keep reading for all the details.
PRISCILLA, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
My husband and I met each other at work in the hospitality industry. We started as friends but quickly realized it was a bit more than that. From then on, everything moved quite quickly. We had our first date on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and now, six years later, we got married on that exact date.
When Vincent saw me in my dress, Martina Liana Style 1486, he couldn’t stop smiling and telling me that I looked beautiful. He loved my glamorous fit-and-flare wedding dress!
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY
I absolutely loved all the Martina Liana dresses I tried on, but the 1486 was definitely all I was looking for. I wanted a classy, sexy, timeless dress to complement the vintage Hollywood style I was aiming for. It was perfect and I felt absolutely gorgeous. The way it fit, the Mikado fabric that looked like silk, the buttons—it was everything I wished for! I felt like a 1960’s star!
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
I am a wedding planner myself, so you can imagine that we went all-out for our wedding! We incorporated many personal details. The invitations were music posters because we collect them from concerts we go to, and this is one of our biggest hobbies to do together. We also included a wristband based on the one we wore when Vincent asked me to marry him at a Rock music festival.
I wore my grandmother’s pearl necklace, as we discussed before she passed away, to keep her with me, and I also wore a bracelet with pearls that belonged to Vincent’s grandmother. Our wedding bands were actually collected from our grandparents’ gold and made new for us. We like to repurpose things, especially to create more sentimental meaning.
After the ceremony, which was in the city hall of Rotterdam, where we both wished to get married in the beautiful old hall, we snuck off together to go to the Irish pub. We had a pint to celebrate our first moment as husband and wife.
After, we joined the rest of our party while walking through the city and ended up in the cafe where we had our first kiss. We had cake and toasted with a beer tower.
Then we went for pizza at the place where we had our second date. Our wedding was kind of like a pub crawl! At the party location, you could find our DIY decorations and personal touches. We had live music and a DJ. We wanted to combine everything we loved and our most special memories.
Cheers to Priscilla and Vincent!
