17 Jun, 2023The story of our wedding
Our wedding was an enchanting celebration filled with unforgettable moments and a blend of cultural influences that made it truly unique. Nestled amidst the picturesque beauty of our venue Bella Collina, a stunning venue radiating Italian vibes, our special day felt like a fairytale come true. The rolling hills, charming vineyards, and elegant architecture provided a romantic backdrop that added a touch of magic to every moment.
The hours leading up to the ceremony were filled with anticipation, excitement, and an abundance of laughter. Puppers in suits and bridesmaids in matching PJs danced, laughed, ate, drank, and took tons and tons of photos. The bridal party and groomsmen shared in the fun of getting ready, with playful banter and heartfelt moments of reflection. The atmosphere was filled with love and support as we prepared to embark on this new chapter of our lives.
We wanted our ceremony to be short but meaningful and filled with personal details. One of the highlights of our ceremony was the incorporation of Scottish traditions. We shared a scotch drink from our Quaich, a gift Chris's family brought us from Scotland. Drinking it together signifies the blending of the two into one. We also include a handfasting portion, completing a fisherman's knot together, showing that we are strong and unbreakable. Standing there in front of our beloved family and friends, the joy and love in the atmosphere were palpable. Laughter, tears of happiness, and heartfelt vows filled the air, creating an atmosphere of warmth and togetherness. Each person there played a special role in our lives, and having them all gathered in one place made the occasion even more meaningful.

Each bite was a heavenly delight, leaving guests craving for more. The display was a sugary paradise, a paradise for all dessert enthusiasts.
As the night progressed, the energy soared with late-night bites that provided an extra burst of flavor and energy. From truffle fries and empanadas to loaded vegan potato skins and pork belly bao buns, there was something to satisfy every craving. These delectable treats ensured that our guests remained fueled and ready to dance the night away.
The speeches during the reception were filled with heartfelt sentiments and cherished memories. Friends and family took turns expressing their love, admiration, and well wishes for our journey together.

As we took to the floor, a cloud effect created an ethereal setting, giving the illusion that we were floating on air. With each graceful lift and turn, cold sparks illuminated the room, casting a mesmerizing glow and filling the space with enchantment. It was a truly breathtaking moment, symbolizing the beginning of our journey together as we danced to the rhythm of our love.
