An Elegant Wedding in Ottawa

Wedding date: July 9, 2011

Wedding theme: Traditional yet modern Italian/Lebanese wedding

Guests: 250

Budget: $50,000

Best moment: “Guests were taking their seats, just as Chahine and I had returned from taking photos,” says Jennifer. “As the bridal party was introduced into the hall to standing ovations, the music was turned up as the MC introduced my husband and I as newlyweds. The men in the bridal party raised Chahine and I separately on their shoulders in celebration as family and friends danced around us.”

Favourite detail: “My favourite wedding detail was the head table with the white sheer crystal backdrop with princess lighting and pillars, light pink linens, silk roses, and light pink orchids,” says Jennifer. “It was absolutely gorgeous.”

Wedding song: “Besame Mucho” by Andrea Boccelli. “The song choice truly explained our love for each other and how we met, and the song represents our decision to always show our love to its fullest every day,” says Jennifer.

Honeymoon: Los Cabos, Riu Palace
