| Divina shares their story with us…….’Tyler and I met in while attending college and it wasn’t until six months before graduation that we really “hit-it-off” romantically. After both moving to Southern California after graduation and living there for about 2 years, we to return to Northern California – San Francisco, to be exact. Once back there, we got engaged! We decided to marry in San Francisco because this is where I’m from and I had always wanted to marry at Grace Cathedral. It’s so beautiful and grand and majestic sitting atop Nob Hill. We wanted a big, formal, city wedding and when deciding where to host the reception, we fell in love with the ballroom at the Mark Hopkins, also on Nob Hill, and just a block from the Cathedral. We wanted a very elegant, formal, over-the-top type of experience.
Being one hundred percent Assyrian definitely meant that our wedding ceremony was going to be very special and unique. We had my long-time priest, the priest who baptized me and my siblings, Rev. Ninos Michael of the Assyrian Church of the East, co-officiate the ceremony along with the Ven. Anthony Turney of Grace Cathedral, bringing in traditional Assyrian marriage ceremony elements, including special prayers and rituals, like the Crowning of the Bride and Groom, all of which were spoken in Assyrian. This was very important to me because of my heritage, but also because it would be a unique experience for many of our guests. We also had my sister, also a bridesmaid, sing “Ave Maria” as a ceremony interlude We had both a band and a DJ. The band was particularly significant because they’re a well-known band from Davis, where Tyler and I attended college and first met. We spent many “date nights” out with friends, dancing to Cold Shot. They were loved by all, but only those who attended UC Davis really have a soft-spot for them!
We worked with our fantastic coordinator Kelly from A Savvy Event, and she had some fabulous recommendations for me in terms of vendors. Kate Webber, our photographer, really impressed me with her previous work, her kindness, and overall excitement about our wedding. Thanks to her, we’ve got some truly artistic and special photographs. Flowers by Michael Daigan Designs – stunning work! Our DJ, the well-known Sam Isaac of San Francisco and our band, Cold Shot, from Davis, CA were also great. It all came together so well.’ |
