Romina and Justin

10/07/2017

Justin and I got married on a warm fall day at Chateau le Parc in the city of Toronto. The theme of my wedding was 'enchanted forest fairy tale.' My inspiration was the movie Twilight, in fact our first dance was to "A Thousand Years." We had large over-sized cherry and wisteria trees that surrounded our reception along with candle lights and white draping to set the romantic tone for the evening. I had gone to a ton of stores and tried on what felt like millions of dresses and I was always pulled back to Hayley Paige. Her feminine silhouettes and details encompassed exactly what I wanted to look and feel like the day of my wedding: a princess. Friends and family were asking me for months leading up to the wedding what kind of dress I would be in and they were waiting in anticipation to see me in the "chosen gown." I always knew that I wanted a ball gown for a wow affect, but I also knew that I wanted something extremely special and unique - not your typical ball gown. That is exactly what I got. When I first tried on the dress I ordered it with hesitation wondering if this would actually turn out to be my dream dress and if I would still love it in a year from then. The day of my wedding was the best day of my life. I had my dream wedding, my dream husband and my dream dress to go along with it. The delicate beading surrounding my arms along with the full skirt was a true beauty. It matched my theme perfectly. My guests could not stop complimenting what I had chosen and were constantly asking me who made the dress. I felt like royalty in that gown. For weeks following the wedding, I was still receiving compliments and comments that my dress was the most beautiful and unique they had ever seen. It truly was a gown that took your breath away. I fully intend on wearing it around the house once it is back from the cleaners just to relive a fraction of those moments. Hayley Paige, thank you for making my dreams come to life! I will never forget the feeling of being overwhelmed with joy when I had my dress on. It was truly a show stopper. I may have to renew my vows every year just to be able to wear it over and over again.
