The Westin Dragonara Resort provided an ideal setting on a beautiful spring day. Everywhere, white flowers were arranged tastefully by Mrs Theresa Sullivan and the general manager of the Westin, Mr Hans Cauchi and his team, went out of their way to make it a truly unforgettable reception. Over 600 invitations had been sent to family and friends who converged in the lobby and on the sunlit terrace where fresh oysters proved to be a great favourite. Champagne flowed through the nine hour long reception. Beautiful music was provided by Freddie Mizzi and his 12 piece band.

Over one thousand souvenirs, which took some two years to make were made of ganutel by Mrs Polidano helped by the bride. She had learnt this craft at the Council of Safi. The bride’s head-dress too was made of ganutel by Mrs Polidano.

The happy couple spent their honeymoon in Singapore, Australia and Dubai.
