Connie and Pano met at the chanter’s stand at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Connie was organizing chanters to chant solo hymns for the Akathist service during Great Lent and was told to talk to Pano so he could sign up to chant. Pano signed up and then didn’t show up! Later that night, Connie found a video posted on Facebook of Pano chanting with her cousin at another church, so she sent him a message to give him a hard time. They secretly dated the first couple of months, all while everyone around them kept telling them they should be together. When people finally did find out they were dating that whole time they were all so shocked!

Pano told Connie they were going to go to dinner for his best friend’s birthday. While Connie was getting ready to go to dinner that evening, Pano and his parents were in her driveway setting up for the surprise of her life. When Connie and Pano walked out the front door, a path of lit candles led them out to the driveway. The driveway was full of red rose petals, candles, and balloons. Pano led Connie into a heart created with rose petals and candles to pop the question.

Their elegant, classic wedding shimmered with ivory, gold and champagne accent colors and decor. The priests and chanters were all related to the bride and groom and/or very close friends. Their Koumbaro (best man) is also a priest so he played both roles (so there was a special outfit change during the service). Homemade desserts were made by the grandmothers of the bride and groom.

Considering it is where they met and they share a deep faith together, the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church was the perfect ceremony site! Together, Connie and Panos enjoy taking walks and going to parks. Also, this traditional Greek wedding was very large - with 350 guests! So much fun and Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort is one of the few venues that can accommodate this large guest count so it was a perfect spot for the reception!

Linda & Steve met on a dating app in 2017 and the rest is love…
They love laughing together and just being goofy (nothin’ wrong with that!) They are kind and caring to one another and they support and share the same dreams always lifting each other up on down days.

Linda & Steve enjoy boating, fishing, being around friends and family, date nights, biking down Dunedin and traveling.

Their wedding day was the epic mash up of the North East Local Greek Girl meets Southern boy… and we really enjoyed witnessing the beautiful Greek Orthodox Ceremony at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral filled with beautiful and unique moments. They later joined their families at Countryside Country Club for their reception also filled with lots of traditional Greek dancing and so much fun!

This bunch knows how to celebrate! Everyone enjoyed the night away and we are here for it!

Thank you Linda & Steve for having us… we wish you both ALL the happiness in the world.
