Katie & Brad elopement in Santorini
“Brad and I knew each other through a group of mutual friends, but the sparks didn’t fully register until a group trip to Santa Cruz for New Year’s 2016. The day after the trip he emailed me and asked if I’d like to go on a date and we’ve been together ever since. He proposed last February by telling me to pack my bags and taking me on a very long hike along the Point Reyes Coastal Trail. When we checked into our BnB and were on the porch looking out at the ocean, he got down on one knee and said, “Before we do anything else I just need to know one thing – will you marry me?”. After many happy tears and hugs, we went down to the beach, made a bonfire, then finished the night with dinner at the Pelican Inn nearby. The best moment of the wedding was exchanging vows. We had done a small ceremony in San Francisco just days before we flew to Greece where we incorporated the traditional vows. Santorini was the first time we had a chance to express our personal vows to one another and doing so in this breathtaking setting was such an impactful moment.”
“Largely inspired by the stunning Greek Cyclades, I wanted to embrace the natural surroundings, so we stuck to a palate of white, off-white, light blue, grey and green. I wanted my outfit to draw from ancient or traditional Greek stylings and chose a dress with delicate drapery and gold-toned accessories. Once we decided to do the wedding in Greece, we only had about 2 months to get everything in order. I simultaneously started shopping online, made one appointment with a local dress shop and a tailoring appointment. After trying on a few options, the one that I purchased online was it. It’s by Maria Lucia Hohan and with a few tailoring modifications, ended up being the perfect dress. I love how it flowed in the wind.”

From Nagia and George:
“Skiathos has always been a favorite destination for us. So in the summer of 2016 once again, we traveled to the island with the incredible natural beauty, for our summer holidays. Returning, we both had exactly the same thought, which after a few days became a decision “Our marriage will be the next summer on this dream island of Skiathos”. So the second weekend of September ’17 the words happy-happiness-love-spree accompanied us as well as our beloved friends and relatives. The ceremony, that took place in a mood of emotions, with our loving family and friends from all parts of the earth will forever remain in our thoughts.”

Σπυριδούλα & Παύλος ένας γάμος στη Λιβαδειά
Όλα ξεκίνησαν αρχές Νοέμβρη του 2011, στο Τορόντο του Καναδά όπου γνωριστήκαμε μέσω κοινής παρέας. Γίναμε οι καλύτεροι φίλοι, είχαμε πάρα πολλά κοινά ενδιαφέροντα και περνάγαμε αρκετό χρόνο μαζί και με τους φίλους μας. Αυτή η όμορφη φιλία κράτησε περίπου δύο χρόνια μέχρι να γίνουμε ζευγάρι. Το Φθινόπωρο του 2015 αποφασίζουμε να γυρίσουμε στην Ελλάδα και να κάνουμε ένα από τα όνειρα μας πραγματικότητα, να συνεχίσουμε την ζωή μας στο νησί, στην Κρήτη, στα όμορφα Χανιά. Δύο χρόνια αργότερα αποφασίζουμε να ενώσουμε τις ζωές μας με την ευλογία της Εκκλησίας, έτσι λοιπόν στις 12 Νοεμβρίου του 2017 παντρευτήκαμε στον Ι.Μ.Ν Εισοδίων της Θεοτόκου στην πανέμορφη και γραφική Λιβαδειά από όπου είναι ο τόπος καταγωγής μου!

From the bride:
“We met in Kavala where we both studied. We started hanging out as friends and after some time everything was showing that we would soon become a couple. Finally, we are together ever since that October in 2006. Together, with the good and the bad, everything that life brings.
Our Greek wedding took place in Tyrnavos with our family and beloved friends in a moment of our life that will be engraved in our memory. Where, our feelings were overflowing with joy, happiness and love, which is exactly how we want to continue our lives.
Because that we do, we know, “Omnia vincit amor””
