On July the 21st, TEAM BRIDE had one of it most challenging wedding ever.\u00a0 The couple, NIck and Yara had decided on a wedding in Cartagena because Colombia had been Nick\u2019s birth place.\u00a0 Nick was adopted and brought to the states as a baby, and after a long journey in finding his roots, he was reunited with his Colombian mother and siblings.<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wedding was a challenge because the couple had booked a Roman Catholic Church with the belief that Yara was Roman Catholic.\u00a0 Yara had been baptized and confirmed in the Melkite Catholic faith which is a branch of the Greek Orthodox church with strong catholic ties.\u00a0 Two weeks prior to the weeding we received word form the Church in Cartagena that they could not get married within the Roman Catholic faith because neither of them had ever been baptized as Roman Catholic, and they had received marriage preparation through the Melkite Catholic Church and not the Roman Catholic church.\u00a0 This is where the challenged began, because the couple was set to have their wedding in the beautiful church of Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo, a Roman Catholic Church!\u00a0 As their wedding planners we set out to solve the situation and make sure to fulfill their wedding dream.\u00a0 First we needed to contact the Greek Orthodox church in Colombia.\u00a0 There is only a hand full of Greek orthodox churches in Colombia, but we were able to contact Father Crisostomo, form Pereira Colombia.\u00a0 He agreed to preform the wedding in Cartagena, so long as the groom was willing to be baptized in the Greek Orthodox faith. For Nick this was not a problem, because through his love for Yara he had learned to embrace the faith, and for her he was willing to do anything!<\/span><\/p>\n

Then their was the issue of obtaining permission from the Archdiocese of Cartagena to preform a Greek Orthodox wedding in a Roman Catholic Church.\u00a0 Not an easy task, but since the Roman Catholic Church had its begging through the Greek Orthodox faith, Father Crisostomo was able to obtain a special permission from the Archbishop of Cartagena. Father Crisostomo arrived 3 days prior to the wedding in Cartagena to preparer Nick for Baptism and a Wedding.<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a result, we at TEAM BRIDE were witness to the most beautiful and emotional wedding preparation ever.\u00a0 It was a true testament of love and the power of love.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wedding reception took place in Casa Quero, a walking distance from the church and within the old city\u2019s\u00a0 walls. \u00a0 The bride and groom wanted their wedding to reflect their fun and laid back personality\u2019s. As with all wedding their is an inspiration piece that sets the tone for the colors, decor and details.\u00a0 For this wedding it was these miniature chalk board cloth pins that we suggested to the couple as name placements to be attached to the wine glasses.\u00a0 From there, we integrated chalk board elements in a tasteful way.\u00a0 As centerpieces we imported a variety of blue bottle vases from the US(none of these things are available in Cartagena) and used the local ginger flower to create a rhapsody of color an design that would compliment the venue and reflect the couples personality. Nick\u2019s biological mother hand made blue boxes for the traditional \u201cChivas\u201d as party favors.<\/span><\/p>\n

After so many weddings, we at TEAM BRIDE know that each wedding leave a special mark in our lives. For both Nazly and me the unique challenge of this wedding reaffirmed us that we are up for any challenge and have the ability to solve anything!<\/span><\/p>\n
