Carrie + Yianni Step Into The Limelight | Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church | Clearwater, FL

Carrie and Yianni met online on EligibleGreeks.com. Carrie came across Yianni's page first and couldn't believe how much they had in common after reading his profile. She liked his profile on the website, and waited 3 long days for him to finally message her. According to Yianni, when he came across Carrie's profile, he didn't think she was real because she had listed all of the same interests as him (he thought she copy & pasted from his page). He decided to pay the website anyway to allow him to message her to find out if she was real or not. After about a month of messaging and face-time calling each other, Yianni decided that he couldn't wait any longer to meet her and made the 11-hour drive down to St. Petersburg, FL to meet her in person for the first time. On their first date, he greeted her with a bouquet of flowers and a case of craft beer. The rest is history.

Oh my… these two are made for each other! We LOVED being able to witness their love for each other. Through the thoughtful traditions and meaningful details, both Carrie and Yianni commemorated their Greek heritage in beautiful ways. We love how Carrie and Yianni take such great pride in everything they do. 

Their wedding day was full of LOVE and a whole lot of dancing. It was all pure joy.

We wish Carrie and Yianni a lifetime of happiness and many more beautiful memories together!

Να ζήσετε (na zisete)! A wish for a long life together, full of health and prosperity.

Hayley + Michael Step Into The Limelight | | SANDPEARL RESORT | CLEARWATER BEACH, FL

 It all started when Hayley went to a Steelers Home opener.  The air was filled with the cheers of thousand of fans cheering on their favorite team.  As Hayley walked to her seat she saw her self sitting next to Micheal! After that game Hayley and Micheal hit it off.  After a couple of years filled with smiles laughs and many new memories Micheal then took Hayley on a trip to Aruba. As they were there Micheal rented a yacht and proposed to her right on the water!.  Fast forward to this year, it was time to tie the knot! Even when the rain was falling Hayley walked down the aisle like a rain of sunshine. With the ceremony filled the support of all their friends and families, Hayley and Micheal said I do and walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Congratulations to the newly weds as we wish them a life time of happiness.

What an honor it was to be able to witness such pure LOVE! Olivia & Ian oozed happiness on their wedding day surrounded by their loved ones.
