Prior to meeting, Jim was interested in Marina but couldn’t find the
right opportunity to talk to her. They had mutual acquaintances and
frequented the same places but didn’t officially meet until several
months later while out with some friends. Both were standing next
to the bar, chatting with a mutual acquaintance. Once he left, it was
just the two of them and they spoke the rest of the night. Weeks later
they started dating.
THE RECEPTION
Following a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony, Marina and Jim hosted their
family and friends to a romantic garden reception full of delicious food. From
the grazing station during cocktails to the four-course dinner and late night
snack table, plenty of great food was had. An eight-piece band kept the guests
dancing throughout the evening (with everything from classic rock to ‘80s
dance music and top 40 hits) and instead of choosing a traditional head table,
Marina and Jim decided to sit amongst their guests, making it easier to mingle.
They also opted out of a traditional guest book, instead having guests write
wishes on a large canvas.
