The Proposal: Julio and Nyssa both were in the Medical Device Industry at different companies. They met through work to network as our territories overlapped; and quickly a friendship developed. After months of being friends they ran into each other at a party on July 4th in Chicago, 2011. It was at this party that Julio decided to her out on a first official date. Nyssa initially said no because she didn’t want to ruin the friendship they had, but Julio insisted that he take her out.
Fast forward to 2013, after 2 years of dating Julio planned a 4th of July weekend get away to Grand Haven, MI. The couple stayed at an adorable B&B for the weekend to relax and enjoy a quaint summer holiday weekend. That Saturday during their getaway Julio had chartered a private boat for a sunset cruise. As the sunset, they posed for a picture, and Julio got down on one knee and asked Nyssa to marry him! Fortunately, the captain was in on the surprise and was able capture the moment in a photo!
The Wedding: Nyssa started the day getting ready at the Westin with hair by Nataliya Ilkiv and makeup by Lisa Trunda. Her gown from Glamour Closet was by Oscar de la Renta, shoes by Jimmy Choo, and jewelry by Haute Bride from Belle Vie. The Bridesmaid's wore Adrianna Papell from Bloomingdales, with the Groom wearing a tuxedo by Suit Supply, and the Groomsmen wore Vera Wang from Men's Warehouse. The day was planned by Estera Events, videography by Elite Video Productions, and florals by HMR Designs.
After getting ready, Nyssa was whisked away in a Rolls Royce to St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church for their ceremony. After they officially became husband and wife, we took the newlyweds and their bridal party to Olive Park and one of our favorites spots on Michigan Ave. for photos before heading to Cafe Brauer for the reception. Catering was by Tiger Lily Events, with cake by Tipsy Cakes, entertainment by Toast & Jam , and a special set by Mariachi Monumental de Mexico. It was a great night!
Congrats Nyssa and Julio!
