We had Family flying in from different parts of the country and most awesome was Grooms Mom all the way from Madeira Portugal! It was very special having our loved ones there !
The ceremony done my my sister was so emotional and special !
I waited 9 long years to marry my best friend! We got engaged in Rome 2018 and from there I planned the best and biggest most beautiful wedding of the year , from canapés to cocktails upon arrival , to tradition Portuguese dances to wedding cake take away’s in Specially made little boxes and even milkshake’s on our free bar list for all shapes and sizes (the adults enjoyed the milkshakes more than the kids I think) my dress was just beautiful- entire dress was Bridal Silk , timeless with a 4m veil ! The weather and outside ceremony was breathtaking! And decor out of this world ! I would change noting and would do it over and over again!
