On a clear October morning, guests were filled with churches near their grandparents’ house. The bride shared: “It’s a place to enter my childhood, where we celebrate Christmas, baptism, weddings, and even say goodbye to our loved ones.” The couple decided to meet at the church for the first time, singing in a chorus of 18 people. “A moment felt like falling in love again,” Andrea recalls. “All the nerves disappeared when I walked down the road and met his gaze. It was a reaffirmation of our love for us, our commitment, and the life we were going to build together.” The bride noted that the exchange of rings at the ceremony was a particularly profound moment for her. She shared: “It’s a strange feeling, a simple piece of metal that can unite us, our Cartier Alliance 1895 band, each with a simple and profound commitment: “Always on Him” and “Forever.”
The newlyweds and their guests then head to the family home, which is the perfect party. “The evening process is designed to encourage exercise and discovery,” Andrea said. “Guests hide a Martini bar in the kitchen pantry of the past, where they can see my cousin’s height and date on the door frame.” Live jazz in the solarium floats in the house, while Vivian Suter paintings provide a focal point for the soft room. “Even if our two grandparents are no longer with us, it sometimes feels like we’re doing some pranks to get rid of it,” Andrea added. The cocktail hour takes place in the back garden, with lush greenery, white flowers and checkered floors providing a relaxing space for conversation. “There was later brought to the front garden for supper, where the tables (the dining tables were all dressed in Portuguese linen and embroidered napkins, featuring our monograms – under the rose gold sound of my grandmother’s Chinese flame tree.”
Music is an excellent element of the couple’s celebration. “From Cornelia Murr’s ethereal live performance during lunch to our first dance to Elvis Presley’s (Benjamin’s surprise): “I can’t help but fall in love), each song is deliberately chosen to create a feeling, memory in memory. “Andrea Shares. After serving pizza at midnight, the party was taken to the basement, a hidden nightclub. We danced until 5am!”
Most importantly, Andrea remembers her love in the air at night at the wedding. “Everyone is the protagonist, and the stories we hear make us feel like we have created something eternal,” she said. “The day is not only about the beautiful details; everyone can safely have meaning, history and love.”
