Country Wedding at Fazenda 7 Lagoas: Aline and Túlio
WEDDINGG – How did you meet? Aline – We met on Túlio's birthday (he's my husband). He was already friends with my girlfriends, who had been invited to his birthday and brought me along. We always joke that I was his birthday present! Although we'd lived in the same neighborhood our whole lives, we'd never seen each other. After the party we started talking constantly, and a month later, on my birthday, we began dating.
WEDDINGG – How did the proposal and engagement happen? (Please send photos if possible.)
Aline – He proposed on a trip to Buenos Aires that Túlio planned entirely himself. Because the trip was during my birthday week and close to our dating anniversary, he told me it was a gift to celebrate together. He knows I love traveling, so it couldn't have been better. He asked me to marry him on our eighth dating anniversary, May 31, 2016, at El Rosedal in Buenos Aires. It was beautiful, just as I had always dreamed.
WEDDINGG – What was it like planning the wedding, handling doubts and expectations, and choosing the professionals? Aline – We married 11 months after the proposal, so I had to be very focused in my choices. But I already knew what I wanted for our wedding.
First we chose the venue, and after that everything became easier. Although the timetable was tight, planning every detail was a pleasure. The wedding was more beautiful than I could ever have dreamed. I found my dream venue, we hired a wedding planning team that made all the difference, and everything reflected who we are.
A Country Wedding
WEDDINGG – How did you feel on the wedding day before it all began, and what went through your mind when you heard your entrance music while the doors were still closed? Aline – I felt very calm and confident about everything on the wedding day. I got ready at the venue with my mother, sister and mother-in-law. Having my mother there gave me peace of mind. But as the time drew closer, I started getting butterflies in my stomach—one of the loveliest feelings I've ever experienced. Seeing my father calmed me again; he reassured me and was so sweet. It was such an emotional moment. When I heard the entrance music, I felt a mixture of excitement and happiness I can't really explain.
WEDDINGG – What was the experience of getting married like for you? Aline – It was beautiful and unique. I always say I loved my whole wedding, but the ceremony is the part I wish I could relive every year. It was like a dream. My uncle, who is a pastor, officiated. I walked into the ceremony holding my father's hand, with a photo of my late stepfather attached to my bouquet, to marry the love of my life in front of everyone who matters so much to us. The atmosphere was so warm and family-centered. I'll never forget it.
WEDDINGG – What advice would you give from one bride to another? Aline – Hire professionals who make you feel secure, and invite people who genuinely matter to the two of you. In the end, you can't go wrong.
WEDDINGG – What décor did you envision for the ceremony and reception? Aline – I wanted something modern and romantic, with lots of flowers and details that felt like us. Even though I married outdoors, I insisted on having an entrance door for the ceremony. The women on the décor team understood everything and created impeccable decorations.
