Couple: Weiwen & Vivi
Travel Period: Autumn, October 2013
Program: 10 Days 9 Nights Aegean Splendor with Symbolic Wedding Ceremony & Pre-wedding Photography
A simple yet elegant and romantic wedding in Santorini follows by a photography tour around this most spectacular Greek island; this must be the dream of most brides-to-be. In this 3-part blog, we will share with you the wedding and bridal photoshoot of Weiwen and Vivi, the couple’s romantic travel to Greece – The cradle of the Western civilization; the birthplace of democracy; literature and philosophies; the phenomenal landscape and breathtaking scenery in Greece and the Aegean islands.
The Wedding
In some way, it was a spontaneous decision to hold a wedding ceremony while the couple had their vacation in Greece. They chose to have the wedding in the morning, with the warm Mediterranean sun and cool breeze from the Aegean Sea. Must be the blessings from the Olympians gods we supposed, everything is perfect! During the session of makeup and hair styling before the ceremony, we chat and share little chuckles while our experienced artist works her magic on our bride.
Because the couple has legally registered their marriage in their home, a symbolic wedding ceremony was held to mark their get together. One could also hold a legally binding civil wedding in Santorini with some paperwork. The wedding is simple yet nothing short of elegance and solemnity. Presided by the master of ceremony, reminding the couple the importance of the oath they will take and giving the couple her blessings. Vivi and Weiwen starts the next chapter of their life by toasting with Vinsanto, a sweet wine exclusively produced in Santorini.
