Well, there is much to tell and be thankful for having this couple in our lives.

From the time we have decided that we should have our wedding in Athens, Yanni has literally ‘owned’ our organization and prepared all the meetings with Grand Resort Lagonissi, the flower shops, the music organization company, transportation, lodging for the guests, the works… For a few times he referred to our wedding as “my wedding,” which might give you an idea of how much he valued it. Of course I owe this to Zeynep, my wife, and her close friendship between them.

Our wedding would have not been such a successful event if it wasn’t for you Yanni. Thank you for being there for us.

Today we had the pleasure of attending a Greek wedding in Athens. It was a very pleasant experience as I had the opportunity of watching an Orthodox Wedding Ceremony at a church.

Below is a picture of the bride, Georgia, with her father in front of the stairs of the church as she just arrived.

Below is as Georgia and her father approaches Vasilis.

…during the ceremony…

…and below is the welcoming dinner for the newly weds just outside of Athens at a very nice outdoor facility. When the ceremony was over, it was past 10:00 pm and by the time we went to the dinner, it was already 11:00. The dancing started around 12:00 am after a very good open buffet feast accompanied by a vocal singer singing western songs.

After dinner everybody danced Greek. Not a single western song was played for the rest of the night which was surprisingly nice. The young and the elderly were bonded with this music as they danced various types of Sirtaki and Zeybeki. Below is a sample of a view from the dance floor…

Well, yet again, congratulations Georgia and Vasilis…
