Have you ever been to a Greek engagement party? If not, you’re totally missing out. It was definitely a new experience for me but I loved every minute. There were so many meaningful traditions along with an actual ceremony where a priest blessed the rings and the families of Antigone + Ryan took part by showering them in jewelry and kisses. The toasts were so heartfelt and meaningful (although some were entirely in Greek so I’m not sure what was said!) and the dancing and money-throwing was just FUN!
I love the dessert table that combined gorgeous Maxie B’s cakes with authentic Greek treats handmade by family and friends. I totally snagged myself some baklava (my fave!). And the huge canvas behind the desserts is a painting of where Antigone + Ryan met! It was breathtaking. So, if any of you are getting married in Greece anytime soon, feel free to take me along! ;)
