Christina + Robert

Halloween, the time for dress-up and laughter, sparked a storybook romance for Christina and Robert. The pair met at their mutual friends Halloween party and have been inseparable since, with their romance blooming much like the flowers of springtime. As this love story bloomed, the holiday theme would continue. The proposal came on a day that celebrates family, tradition and joy; Christmas. During the family lunch at Christina’s grandparents’ home, Robert whisked her away for a quiet moment, where he would ask her to spend forever together. The wedding reception was held at the picturesque
Normanby Manor, with 120 of the couple’s family and friends.

The white and gold accents, delicate florals and design elements that Robert and Christina implemented perfectly complemented the timeless charm of the venue, resulting in a magical day.
The wedding cake was by far a standout, elegantly imitating the design of the brides intricately beaded dress. Traditional Greek dancers graced the stage as a wedding gift from the father of the bride. Family also made an appearance on the dancefloor
with cousins performing traditional Cretan dances. The team at Normanby Manor was there for the happy couple every step of the way. The team provided advice in moments of need, seamlessly planned each aspect of the night and even provided the recommendation for the videographer.
