The love story
Chrisostomos and Maria were introduced by her cousin one night whilst Maria was visiting Sydney. There was an instant connection but unfortunately the following day Maria had to return to her home in Darwin, and they kept in contact.
The following week Maria was back in Sydney for a concert and Chrisostomos took her out to dinner.
They continued a long-distance relationship for 8 months, travelling back and forth from Darwin to Sydney. In July 2015, while holidaying together in Greece Chrisostomos proposed in beautiful Santorini.
The location
Rhodes, Greece. The church service took place at Agios Pavlos in Lindos. The reception was in Kalithea and was hosted by Pane Di Capo.
Both Chrisostomos and Maria had always said they wanted to get married in Greece, as they are both Greek and wanted to go back to their roots and have it feel more meaningful. Also, Maria’s grandfather would not have been able to travel to Australia and that played a big role as they couldn’t have a wedding without him being there.
All the planning and styling was left in the hands of leading events company White Events white-events.gr who did an amazing job.
