«I met my wife at university. She was in the same lectures as me, but at first, she didn’t seem to notice me. It wasn’t until she saw me riding by on my skateboard that things started to change. What followed were weeks of getting closer, her clever attempts to catch my attention, and even coordinating her outfits to stand out to me. It wasn’t long before we had our first movie date, and soon after, that first date blossomed into a six-year relationship.» the groom shared with us.»

«During our vacation in Dubai, I managed to persuade our favorite steakhouse to open a bit earlier so that I could propose in a private setting. This allowed us to combine our love for great food and travel into a beautiful moment. The experience was made even more unforgettable thanks to a pianist who added a special touch to the occasion.»

«For our beautiful wedding in Crete, we chose a mix of green and white for the decorations. The bridal bouquet featured white roses and local olive branches. For the ceremony, we opted for a wooden wedding arch adorned with green olive branches and white roses, with a white fabric drape adding an elegant touch.»

«The wedding dinner was served at a long table decorated with a continuous floral arrangement of white roses and green olive branches. The candles, gold cutlery, and fairy lights strung overhead created a magical atmosphere.»

«I chose a simple, elegant dress with a beautiful train and a row of buttons down the back. The dress was strapless and perfectly complemented the atmosphere and the wonderful weather in Crete. It was figure-hugging and understated, so to add a special touch, I opted for a long, beaded veil that added just the right amount of sparkle.» the bride shared with us.

«Of all the moments, my wife loved the ceremony the most — the heightened excitement of walking down the aisle, the support of her siblings by the wedding arch, the closeness we shared in those thrilling minutes before saying “I do,” and our first kiss as a newly married couple. As her newlywed husband, there’s one moment that will forever stay with me. It was when she changed into her party dress and, with 30 balloons on a string, danced wildly and passionately to her favorite song, surrounded by friends. It was a moment filled with pure joy and passion.»
