I met Domi at work and we instantly clicked. She is one of the kindest,
most generous and genuine people I have ever met. She has been nothing
but amazing since I met her nearly two years ago. She is one of those
selfless people that exude so much warmth and support that you just fall
in love with her. Which I guess is what happened to Andreas, her now
husband, when he first met her.
They have a simply beautiful love story which culminated in a wonderful
wedding on 25th October 2012. The thunder and lightening didnt stop the
traditional Greek Orthodox Ceremony and the rain clouds dissappeared in
time for the outside cocktail by the pool surround with lanterns and
little candles.
While Domi isnt Cypriot, they opted for a somewhat traditional Cypriot wedding with a few Polish touches thrown in for good measure. Im sure you are all intrigued as to the goings on at a Cypriot wedding, but its a bit of an ordeal to describe. Lets just say they do things big; big church wedding, big cocktail reception with a 1000+ guests being the norm and a big dinner/party for around 300 "close" friends/family etc. And in Cyprus guests bring money not gifts to help the new couple on their new journey. While in theory this is a nice idea as it helps with the ending up with three toasters situation, weddings in Cyprus seem more about money making sometimes, than about love. Needless to say, if the day comes that me and Harry tie the knot, we will be doing it "our" way (which if I have anything to do with it, will be as far away from the Cypriot way as possible) although YaYa might not be happy with that.
So to give you a taster of a Cypriot wedding, I have the trailer for Domi and Andreas wedding. Its just a couple of minutes and it is well worth watching - the company that did the video are the best in Cyprus - I think the quality speaks for itself. You can find the video here. Enjoy.
