Domna and Robert’s Oheka Castle wedding was fabulous! A fantastic time from start to finish, with gorgeous photos, but our favorite part was seeing Domna and Robert together. Here’s what they wanted to share from their day: “November 5 2011 was the best day of our lives. Our main priority on that day was to be present and happy, so going into the wedding we promised ourselves that we weren’t going to let the small stuff interfere with our enjoyment. We delegated all responsibilities (via Domna’s some what compulsive checklists) and throughout the day took mental snapshots of our “moments.” We didn’t want to get caught up in the details and lose sight of the most important thing, which is to celebrate being a couple. We learned to be flexible with our day. For example, taking fun pictures to capture those spontaneous moments together was really important to Domna but at the same time Rob didn’t want to see her before the ceremony. So rather than stressing too much about timelines we decided to compromise and scheduled a post wedding shoot to take goofy pictures of just us.” Domna: “Perhaps the memory that makes me smile the most is when I was walking down the aisle to see my soon to be husband. I couldn’t stop smiling. I just wanted to kiss him right there on the spot and was so excited to be standing there with him. When the priest finally said we could kiss, I thought my heart would burst with happiness. Another memory that really stands out was when Rob and I were slow dancing to “Message in a Bottle” by the Police (this was NOT our wedding song but it is one of my favorite songs). We were all alone in the middle of the dance floor, slow dancing, while I randomly sang the wrong lyrics. Rob and I are both very goofy people so this moment was just so us. It was perfect.” Rob: “I had the biggest smile on my face when Domna walked down the aisle. Although it was nerve wracking, I knew everything was worth while as we stood next to each other at the alter. At that point I felt relaxed and just focused on us. One of my favorite moments was when Domna & I were standing alone outside the reception hall waiting to be announced at the party. At that moment I just thought “Finally!!!” It was awesome because we were ready to have a good time, and we were officially a team. I loved celebrating with family and friends because everyone, including Domna and I, had a good time.” Congratulations again Domna and Rob!
