Loredana and Anthony’s love story started after a humble ‘hi’ and a handshake. Even though they both lived in the same village, they did not know one another before they were introduced one Saturday evening by Loredana’s best friend. After that evening, one thing led to another and they didn’t look back. However, they spent most of the first five years of their relationship apart, since Loredana was studying at the University of Malta and Anthony had to work at their family business, which is based in Gozo.

After a couple of years together, they decided that they would get married as soon as Loredana finished her studies and that is what happened. However, Anthony still managed to surprise her with the most romantic proposal while on a holiday in Venice. “He proposed while on a gondola with the most beautiful solitaire diamond ring”, Loredana, recalled.

They got married on August 19 in 2017. It is a very special date for them both since it is the eve of their village week in Gћajnsielem.

They both enjoy celebrating the village feast and the church was decorated for the occasion so it was a bonus for them. A reception followed at the popular venue Ta’ Frenċ; they wanted an outdoor venue so Ta Frenċ was naturally the best choice for the couple.

The theme for the wedding day was a warm, white wedding. Loredana always dreamt of having a special touch to the wedding day and thought that having lots of warm lighting and lots of white would create that magical atmosphere and that is exactly what happened. They decorated the church with lots of white candles and white flowers, by Jason Curmi, and hung various white lanterns all over the open ceiling of the reception venue. This created a mesmerising warm feeling.

A great atmosphere was also created through the lovely music they had throughout the day, music is a passion for Loredana and she wanted to have the best on their wedding day, so they chose Ludwig Galea for the ceremony, by Tunin Entertainment, I Love RUG for their wedding reception (This was Loredana’s dream and her father’s. He used to tell her that if she ever gets married, he would get Gianni’s band for her wedding, and he kept his promise.) And for the after party they had DJ Gordon. They opened the dance floor with their first dance to the song by Eric Clapton, Wonderful Tonight.

For this special day, Loredana had the most romantic princess style dress, which she fell in love with from the very first time she laid eyes on it at Eva Mariee Bridal Exclusive. While Anthony chose a plain navy blue suit with a black satin collar and bow tie from Cefai Formal Wear.

They had the time of their life at their wedding it was fun, special and one of a kind. They will keep their memory of such a wonderful day for the rest of their lives. For them the wedding day meant “the first day of the rest of our lives together as a family”, the couple explained.

After such a memorable day they continued celebrating their love for one another on a month’s honeymoon in Asia. They spent the first 11 nights roaming the beautiful cities of Malaysia, four nights in Singapore, six nights in the Maldives, and finally four nights in Dubai with a day-trip to Abu Dhabi. “It was the best mixture of adventure, relaxation and shopping all in one trip”, the couple concluded.
