Twelve years ago, amidst the lively beats and vibrant energy of Toronto’s iconic Hoxton nightclub, Stefanie and Mark found love in what some might call a hopeless place. What began as a serendipitous encounter quickly blossomed into a love story defined by unwavering devotion, shared dreams, and a bond that grew stronger with every passing year. After 10 years, a breathtaking helicopter ride over Toronto’s glittering skyline marked the next chapter of their love story. Mark proposed, leaving Stefanie in tears of joy as she said yes to forever.

Stefanie said yes to her dress at Iconic Bride Dallas, a boutique known for its exquisite, custom gowns. She wore not one but two breathtaking dresses. Her first gown, exclusively curated by designer James Brown, was a regal lace ball gown inspired by Kitty Spencer’s iconic wedding dress. The waist-cinching silhouette with the flowing A-line skirt featured a high neckline, long sleeves, and delicate buttons running from the neck to the hem. This timeless gown exuded sophistication and grace. Her evening gown was a sultry yet elegant silk gown by Verdin. The body-hugging, glamorous dress featured an open back, a pearl-encrusted collar, and a dramatic back bow with a train.
