Vow Renewal in Greece – Nahida + Ioannis
CONTENTS
These two have already said yes. After an impromptu wedding in Manhattan, they wanted to renew their vows in a little Mediterranean paradise. It was in Greece, on the wild island of Paxos that they arranged to meet their loved ones. A daydream that they share with us today.
With the beautiful images of Jeremy Ferrero, Nahida tells us more…
The initial meeting
“Late August, in Manhattan. We were waiting in the same place for friends to go to the movies. Incredible coincidence, we were dressed in the same colors. So we started talking. The movie we watched didn't really matter.”
The marriage proposal in Paris
"2 years later, Ioannis decides to fly to Paris, the marriage proposal took place at the Ritz"

Renewal of vows in Greece
“Our first wedding was a last-minute decision, and the ceremony literally lasted a few minutes at New York City Hall. Since we didn’t have enough time to celebrate at that time, we decided to do it in what we believe to be the most beautiful place on earth. Paxos in Greece"

Budget for renewal of vows
"Not too much..."
If I had to do it again?
"Yes, of course, we have already thought about it..., but only if Jeremy Ferrero is available."
Their advice
“Don’t plan too much, you may have to change everything at the last minute. Follow your dreams, they can come true.”

Hello,
I would like to know how you organized the flights for your guests. How much did the stay cost for your guests. I am in the middle of organizing my wedding that we would like to celebrate in Greece to get to know the country well, but the Cyclades islands seem idyllic to us but it is the price of the trip that will guide our choice. Can you enlighten me on this point which will allow us to decide.
Thank you in advance, our budget is limited.
