TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL!
Patrick and I first met on Bumble, the dating app, and it was an instant connection! Fast-forward, and we have been together for an incredible five years, growing together and creating countless memories before we got engaged.
Patrick’s proposal felt like it was straight out of a fairy tale to me. His approach was incredibly romantic yet playful. I found the ring under my pillow while he playfully whispered that the Diamond Fairy had visited!
WHAT WAS THE MOST SPECIAL MEMORY FROM THE DAY?
Pinpointing one special memory from our wedding day isn’t easy, however, if I had to choose, it would be our Middle Eastern cultural “Zaffa.” This grand entrance isn’t just a tradition; it’s a jubilant celebration of marriage with the wedding party, and signifies the couple’s commitment and beginning of their journey together.
Patrick and I were surrounded by lively drummers and performers dancing around us, wrapping us in an aura of festivity. This unforgettable moment painted our day with the colors and customs that made our union truly memorable.
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE. HOW DID YOU WANT TO LOOK ON YOUR WEDDING DAY? TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
My vision for my wedding style was “elegant and dreamy,” and I certainly achieved this with my bridal gown. The moment I found my wedding dress felt magical. Martina Liana Style 1406 was everything I’d imagined my wedding dress to be.
The simple skirt against the intricate lacework on the bodice added a touch of appeal that made the dress both modern and vintage. Wearing it, I felt like nothing short of a princess.
When we did our first look, Patrick was amazed by not only me but commented on how unique and gorgeous this dress was. I felt so lucky to have found the dream dress that aligned with my vision and made me feel beautiful on the most important day of my life.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING. WHAT WERE YOUR THEME AND COLORS? HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR WEDDING PERSONAL TO YOUR LOVE STORY?
Our wedding theme was a symphony of personal touches that told our unique love story. The color palette combined soft nude tones to perfectly match the romantic setting.
The ceremony backdrop, crafted from wood and decorated with elegant nude floral arrangements, provided a beautiful setting for exchanging vows outdoors. Then, we all headed to this chic tent for the reception, where crystal chandeliers gave off this soft, elegant vibe.
Cheers to Valentine and Patrick!
