Roxana and Bem had imagined a romantic, fall wedding set in a classic and original Chateau. They travelled specifically to visit the Chateau before falling in love with the setting and worked with Anne Laure to bring their vision to life.

Bem planned a comprehensive trip to Egypt and Jordan; two countries on Roxana’s wishlist ever since she was a child. During this memorable trip, Bem proposed to Roxana in Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, during a camel ride, where they were surrounded by the magnificent silence of the desert and beauty of nature.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

For their ceremony, Roxana and Bem chose Peter Madan as their officiant, as he was able to blend Catholic touches with the Persian ceremony. The groom’s entrance on the song ‘The Matrimony’ gave the tone to the entire wedding: modern, multi-cultural, and family-oriented. Ceremony songs: Do 4 Love (Bride entranc,e) Ceremony songs: The Matrimony (Groom Entrance), Ceremony songs: Protector (Rumi’s entrance)

Roxana and Bem always knew they wanted a blended cultural ceremony experience. They decided to hold the Nigerian ceremony during the welcome dinner with a focus on merriment and symbolism. During this ceremony, Roxana donned the traditional Nigerian Tiv tribal colors of black and white and ‘reintroduced’ herself to Bem and his family.

Roxana had always wanted to incorporate the Persian ceremony into the overall ceremony for her wedding. She worked with her mother, NE Design, and Simin Events to bring the vision of the ‘Sofreh Aghd’ to life. Each element on the spread had a special meaning that supported the success and everlasting marriage of souls. The ceremony spread was laid out before the guests, and Roxana’s father explained the meaning and symbolism behind each of the hand-crafted objects. The most special aspect of this ceremony was the grinding of sugar above the bride and groom’s heads to symbolize the adding of sweetness to the couple’s lives.

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Roxana and Bem had the privilege of including their daughter, Rumi, in the celebrations and wanted to make sure that even though she would be too young to remember the occasion, she would be remembered. With the help of Anne Laure, they created a custom cart for Rumi to be rolled down the aisle before the entrance of the Bride. This was one of the highlights of Roxana and Bem’s day. [/field]
