Carmelina and Jon
Photography: Bradley Images
I met Jon in February 2006 while hanging out with my best friend. Since Jon is a mortgage banker and I am a real estate agent, he called my office that next week to make an appointment to discuss work. We started dating that summer.
Jon proposed in May 2007 at my parent’s beach house in Delaware. He told me there was a package being delivered to their house so he flagged down the mailman. We went on the deck and he had me open the package. It was a gold band. Up until we got engaged, Jon teased me about this gold band. The gold band is significant in Greece because it is their engagement band. As I was in shock, Jon got down on his knee explained that it was his Mom’s engagement ring. He had me open another box and in there was my engagement ring. We were both very emotional and will never forget how perfect that day was.
Being that I am Roman Catholic and Jon is Greek Orthodox, it was important to us to have traditions from both religions to bless our union including having two separate ceremonies. At our reception we had a Greek and Italian band and incorporated traditional Italian and Greek dances. Dishes were smashed for good luck and money was thrown on the floor for our last dance.
The best thing about the entire day was having our family and friends there to be a part of it.
My advice to brides out there is to be creative, stay organized and try to incorporate traditions from both families. Finally, enjoy it! Don’t let the little things get you down.
Thank You to Bradley Images for their Excellent work!
