A Spectacular Vow Renewal in Dubai
18 May 2023 is a date Karen and Antony will never forget! It was a day filled with love, romance and a touch of history as Karen and Antony Maramaldo renewed their vows at the majestic Queen Elizabeth II, a floating hotel that once sailed the seas as a grand cruise ship.
The couple, who has been through their fair share of trials and triumphs over the years, decided to reaffirm their commitment to each other in a truly remarkable setting.
Queen Elizabeth II exudes an air of grandeur and timeless beauty; the venue proved to be the perfect backdrop for Karen and Antony's vow renewal ceremony. As they stood before their closest friends and family, the couple found themselves surrounded by the stories embedded in the walls, adding an extra layer of significance to their special day.
Karen and Antony's journey began on a friend's yacht 5 years ago, igniting a spark that has only grown brighter with time. In their quest to celebrate their love on the water, they chose to honor that initial connection by selecting Queen Elizabeth II as their vow renewal venue.
The ceremony was an intimate affair, attended by a select few friends and family members. Against the backdrop of the stunning Dubai skyline, Karen glided down the aisle in a breathtaking white convertible dress, chosen not only for its elegance but also for its practicality. The location offered many picturesque spots for photographs, and Karen wanted to be able to move freely and dance the night away. Her radiant look was completed by wavy locks cascading down her shoulders and exquisite pearl jewelry, accentuating her timeless beauty.
The simplicity of Karen's bouquet perfectly complemented the grandeur of the venue. Vibrant hydrangeas, arranged in a colorful display, added a pop of joy and served as a symbol of the couple's enduring love. A satin ribbon delicately tied the bouquet together, a subtle touch that echoed the intertwining of their lives.
The night was a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of celebrating the milestones that mark our journey through life.
