[field title=”Proposal Story”]Victoria and Ben’s love story began in October 2017, when they first met at school. Ben was immediately captivated by Victoria and decided to impress her by pretending to speak French. He memorized a paragraph he had read and confidently recited it to her, unaware that Victoria was fluent in the language. Unfortunately, Ben had memorized the paragraph incorrectly and ended up speaking in charming gibberish. Despite the amusing mix-up, it was a memorable moment that marked the start of their journey together.
When it came time to propose, Victoria chose a romantic setting on the Mediterranean Sea in Cyprus to pop the question to ben! After the heartfelt proposal, they celebrated their engagement in a delightfully unconventional way—by heading to McDonald’s and enjoying their meal together in a pool. This playful and unique celebration captured their fun-loving spirit and their deep connection.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Victoria dazzled in two stunning wedding gowns that perfectly captured her style and grace. For the ceremony, she wore a breathtaking dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a long, romantic train that flowed elegantly behind her. The gown featured modern folds around the bodice, adding a contemporary twist to its classic silhouette and highlighting her refined taste.
For the luncheon, Victoria changed into a fitted dress that showcased her silhouette beautifully.

Each dress was a masterpiece in its own right, reflecting both the romantic and sophisticated aspects of Victoria’s wedding day.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Victoria’s approach to choosing bridesmaids’ dresses was both thoughtful and stylish. She asked each bridesmaid to select a dress they loved, provided it adhered to the blush color palette and was below the knee in length. This personal touch allowed each bridesmaid to express their individuality while maintaining a cohesive look. The result was a stunning, almost ombre effect among the bridal party, with varying shades of blush seamlessly blending together to create a visually pleasing and harmonious ensemble. This thoughtful choice not only highlighted each bridesmaid’s personal style but also beautifully complemented the overall aesthetic of the wedding.[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]The groomsmen complemented the wedding’s playful and elegant theme with timeless black suits, which exuded classic sophistication. To infuse a touch of the event’s whimsical charm, they wore pink ties that beautifully echoed the blush color palette of the wedding. This thoughtful detail added a lively and vibrant contrast to their traditional attire, seamlessly tying in with the overall playful nature of the celebration while maintaining a refined and cohesive look.[/field]
