Maria-Emanuela & Alexandre - Lausanne, Switzerland

Among the Alps and above Lake Geneva, during that brief and sublime time of year when the leaves are a kaleidoscope of gold, bronze, red, and green, two of our favorite lovers celebrated the beginning of their lives together. 

By the grace of God, the destinies of a Romanian girl and a Greek boy became intertwined in Switzerland in early 2014. Their story is one of true inspiration. Through struggles and triumphs together, their commitment and passion toward one another has become so strong it is almost tangible. On hearing their heartfelt story, we couldn't help but fall in love with this couple from all the way across the Atlantic. Ema and I met about six months ago, thanks to Facebook. We've become acquainted just as well as two girls can from such a distance, and we discovered such a fantastic connection in our first few months as friends. Ema is brimming with excitement for life, and an undeniable whimsy that is enchanting. She and Alex are both brilliant minded, deeply convicted, and absolutely mad about each other. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect match made in heaven! 

The wedding day was perfection, from the mild autumn weather to the lavish accommodations. We were honored to share this exquisite day with an even more exquisite couple that we are grateful to call friends.

 

Avec comme décor les Alpes et le lac Léman, pendant cette période sublime de l'année où les feuilles offrent une palette d'or, de bronze, de rouge et de vert, deux de nos amoureux préférés ont célébré le début de leur vie ensemble.

Par la grâce de Dieu, les destins d'une jeune roumaine et d'un jeune homme d’origine grec se sont croisés en Suisse au début de l’année 2014. Leur histoire est une véritable inspiration. Grâce à des épreuves et des triomphes partagés ensemble, leur engagement et leur passion sont devenus si forts qu'ils en sont presque devenus tangibles. En entendant leur histoire sincère, au delà de l’Atlantique, nous n’avons pas pu nous empêcher de tomber amoureux de ce couple. Ema et moi nous sommes rencontrées il y a environ six mois, grâce à Facebook. En dépit de toute distance, nous sommes devenus de plus en plus proches: une connexion forte que l’on peut appeler une belle amitié. Ema est remplie de fascination pour la vie et d’une imagination indéniable qui enchante le cœur. Elle et Alex sont brillants, plein d'esprit, profondément croyants, et absolument fous l’un de l'autre. Nous n'aurions pas pu imaginer un couple mieux assorti!

Le jour du mariage a touché à la perfection, une très belle journée d'automne, un cadre somptueux, une ambiance chaleureuse. Nous avons été honorés de partager cette journée exquise avec un couple encore plus exquis que nous sommes reconnaissants d'appeler des amis.
