Mary and Max’s wedding unfolded last May in the breathtaking coastal town of Elounda on the island of Crete, where endless blue skies met the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. Set high above the water, their celebration felt serene, joyful, and deeply romantic from the very beginning. One of the most emotional moments came during their first look on the iconic white stairs of Emotion Villa, where Max’s reaction to seeing Mary for the first time set a heartfelt tone for the entire day. The ceremony that followed was equally moving, thoughtfully incorporating elements of Max’s Jewish heritage and blending tradition with personal meaning in a way that touched every guest present.

The reception embraced the essence of Mediterranean elegance, with tables overflowing with vibrant bougainvillea, hand-painted menu cards inspired by citrus fruits, and traditional kumquat spoon sweets gifted to guests as a warm nod to Greek hospitality. As beautiful as the styling was, it was the party that truly defined the night—full of energy, laughter, and unforgettable surprises. Mary’s second dress reveal and spontaneous Barbie-themed dance moment ignited the dance floor and turned the celebration into pure joy. From emotional vows to playful spontaneity, Mary and Max’s wedding was a perfect balance of tradition, personality, and celebration, creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
