Love brought us here, and we want you there!
Lara & Brendan
Let's celebrate together
Our Story
We come from opposite sides of the world—different languages, different stories, different beginnings. But love has a way of bringing the most unexpected hearts together. Now, we’re creating a life that is entirely our own. A blend of two worlds, two journeys, and one shared future. And we can’t wait to celebrate the start of this new chapter with you.
The Wedding
14:45 PM arrival | 15:15 PM 'I do'
Dress Code
Formal attire, summer elegance: Gents in formal dark or light suits.
Ladies – think of elegant long dresses or mid-length cocktail dresses.
I created a Pinterest Board for some inspiration.
We cannot wait to see you!
