Hi guys all right? If you’ve followed me on Instagram, you’ve seen that I’ve been around the world for quite some time. In fact, I was marrying my beautiful fiancés through the four corners. But now, I’m back and full of news to share here. I start with my first wedding, Patrick and Vanessa ‘s charming Las Vegas elopement wedding . He, an American, a former professional basketball player, she, a Brazilian, a lawyer , and what seemed unlikely had a little help from fate to meet.“In December 2014, we met at a wedding in Brazil. He returned to the United States the next day, but with the intention of returning in the near future. In February 2015, he returned to Brazil to meet and, since then, we have not been separated anymore, starting a long-distance relationship, with monthly meetings, sometimes in Las Vegas/NV (USA), where he used to live, sometimes in Uberlândia/ MG (BR) , where I used to live” , she recalls, who took the relationship until 2019, when Patrick surprised her with a beautiful and special request.
“We chose the date 05/20/2020 to hold a small but special ceremony for the families. The destination initially chosen was the city of NY! Choosing my advisor was the first and most important step . Since, from the beginning, I knew that the wedding would take place outside Brazil, I went directly in search of companies specialized in advising and organizing weddings outside the country. When searching for these companies, the most indicated was, without a doubt, Aonde Casar. The first contact was virtual and, at the end, I was sure that Simone would be the ideal person to help me along this path. Competent, kind, knowledgeable, with ownership of the most beautiful places around the worldand the best suppliers, Simone is certainly the most suitable person to advise any bride, regardless of where in the world, in her Destination Wedding. Without a doubt, a fairy godmother who will make your dreams come true!” , she says, making me super excited.
It was then that we went in search of a perfect, beautiful and cozy place to receive the few, but special guests. After a thorough search by me, we decided together for the traditional and renowned restaurant The River Cafe, located in the borough of Brooklyn in NY . Advice, location, photographer, chosen dress and decoration, the bride and groom (and the world) were surprised by the pandemic , which affected several sectors, but mainly the universe of wedding celebrations.“We even postponed the celebration four times during this period. I moved to Las Vegas, we got married civilly and, in the face of all the instability still experienced due to the pandemic, with a broken heart, we decided to cancel the much-desired and long-awaited celebration, in the place of dreams and the way we always aspire to” , explains Vanessa, that, even so, I didn’t give up getting married, after all, getting married is an important and passing milestone that I always talk about. As Vanessa confessed to me, that place would still be the scene of some celebration of the couple, perhaps a renewal of vows, in the future, and Aonde Casar will certainly be present!
However, until then, in order not to leave a cycle unfinished, we decided, in August of this year, to celebrate love again at an Elopement Wedding in Las Vegas, where they live. They decided to do something minimalist and left the celebration with friends and family for the future. What could be just another celebration of the couple, was even more special, since it had the presence of someone very special… Vanessa was 24 weeks pregnant! Las Vegas is not far behind other destinations when it comes to marriage. Known for its luxurious casinos, the famous and unusual chapels, which can even count on the illustrious “presence” of Elvis Presley, paradisiacal deserts that guide the city with breathtaking landscapes, is, without a doubt, a city chosen by many to celebrate the big day!
Vanessa was beautiful! As she already had a little belly, she chose a romantic long-sleeved lace wedding dress that didn’t hug her waist. For beauty, she, who always looks beautiful with her hair down, only bet on a babyliss, which was a charm. Light makeup with marked eyes matched the time and occasion.
“After the church celebration, we chose Tivoli Village, a charming shopping center inspired by Italy, for the photos. The celebration, the party and the place weren’t those initially planned, but it was certainly magical, special and full of surprises! Now, we have to wait for the renewal of vows and the Aonde Casar staff is ready to participate in this moment!” , completes Vanessa. And I, of course, am already very ready for the next celebration.
So, what did you think? Beautiful is not it? More than dear and special couple.
See you next week,
Simone
