Andrea and Matthew met at a coffee shop, and their relationship began to bloom. Between travels, triathlons, graduate school, and jobs, they somehow found time for each other. And, their love for each other really shows. Matthew wrote a daily love poem to Andrea for more than a month leading up to their wedding, and they both wrote their own personal wedding vows that were so meaningful. During their ceremony, they were “crowned” in the Greek tradition, with the crowns from Andrea’s parents’ wedding, symbolizing “the unconditional love of God, the promise of true love, the power of family, and the great honor it is to recognize and celebrate heritage and cultural traditions.” Their reception featured rich, jewel-toned flowers, shimmering golden vessels, and an abundance of romantic candlelight, with wonderful Greek food and dancing, too.
