As we recount the heartwarming journey of Sarah and Tom's wedding, we invite you to step into a world where love knows no boundaries. The stage was set on the sun-drenched shores of Cyprus, where a charming Lebanese beauty, Sarah, and a Belgian gentleman, Tom, embarked on a love story that traversed continents.

Let's start with the heartwarming preparations of the bride, Sarah. Amidst the morning's gentle rays, she and her friends exuded an air of serene excitement as they readied themselves. Laughter and champagne flowed freely as they shared moments with friends who couldn't be present in person, connecting through the magic of video calls. It was a testament to the incredible bond that Sarah shared with her friends, who were as much a part of her big day as those who were physically there. The atmosphere in her abode was one of warmth and camaraderie, setting the stage for a day filled with love and laughter.

Meanwhile, on the other side of this love story, Tom, his family, and friends found themselves in a splendid villa in Ayia Napa, immersed in the beauty of Cyprus. Days were filled with sun-soaked poolside adventures, as laughter and camaraderie became the soundtrack to their time together.

Tom, a devoted McLaren Formula One team fan, added a vibrant touch to his wedding attire with papaya-colored socks, tie, and handkerchief. This stylish choice was a nod to his personality, an understated statement that immediately set him apart as the groom. Amidst this jovial atmosphere, Tom read a heartfelt letter from his future wife, while his parents regaled everyone with amusing and touching stories, enveloping the villa in warmth and sentiment.

Returning to Sarah's side, our lens captured enchanting portraits as she gracefully stepped into her bridal attire. The moment she descended the stairs, her entire family and the cherished guests who had journeyed from afar welcomed her with applause and heartfelt smiles. As Sarah's father gazed at his radiant daughter, a tear escaped, and he couldn't resist planting a tender kiss on her cheek. It was a moment that encapsulated the profound love and connection they shared.

Then, we embarked on the first of two ceremonies that would define this extraordinary day. Yes, you heard it right, this wedding was to be graced by two ceremonies – one at the Anglican church in the heart of Nicosia and the other in Ayia Napa. The picturesque church in Nicosia served as the backdrop for the first ceremony, where Sarah made her entrance, her father proudly escorting her to Tom. As they locked eyes, tears welled up, emotions unspoken but deeply felt.

At the ceremony's culmination, Tom couldn't contain his joy, raising his fist triumphantly as he led his radiant wife outside the church for a sweet and unforgettable kiss.

 We had one Ceremony yes.
But what about second Ceremony

For the second ceremony, the wedding party ventured to Ayia Napa's stunning Nissi Beach, where the golden sun graced the occasion with its warm embrace. Under the open sky and against the backdrop of the shimmering Mediterranean, Sarah and Tom exchanged their vows, pledging their love and promises to one another. With the gentle lull of waves providing the soundtrack, this idyllic setting witnessed the culmination of their journey, a testament to the love they shared. The sun's golden glow illuminated this moment, creating a scene of pure enchantment, as they sealed their union with a heartfelt kiss.

As the final vestiges of daylight caressed the idyllic Nissi Beach, we seized the fleeting moments to conduct a brief photoshoot, immortalizing the couple's effervescent love beneath the waning sun. With the day's cherished memories imprinted in our photographs, Sarah and Tom, accompanied by their treasured guests, made their way to Taverna Nissi for the evening's revelries. The scene was set for a night of jubilation, where laughter and the rhythmic sway of dance would permeate the atmosphere, crafting a fitting culmination to a day suffused with love and indelible moments
