Our Story
Our journey began amidst the vibrant allure of the Garden State Plaza. As fate would have it, Dimitri's gaze fell upon Lorraine from a distance, and in that very moment, he knew he’d found his true love. Life, however, led them along separate paths for a brief three-year interlude, but destiny, in all its enigmatic ways, brought their souls back together, this time by sheer chance. Their first date unfolded on a chilly October night, amidst the city's dimly lit streets of SoHo, where the Blue Ribbon Brasserie provided a warm and inviting backdrop for their fresh romance. In those early days, Dimitri spoke softly, but with unwavering conviction about the shared path they were destined to tread, a vision mirrored in her heart with equal intensity. And as the tapestry of their love story unfolded, they found themselves hand in hand, exploring the world together and building a home and a life together. Their love story stands as a testament to the enduring strength of love and the serendipitous magic that life weaved into our journey. For what is destined for one's heart shall always find its way. And as they will stand together, their hearts brimming with excitement, they are overjoyed to share their special day with their dearest loved ones, under the luminous moon, a symbol of the eternal love that binds their souls together.
