“It was wonderful seeing all the things we had been planning for months fall into place.”
For her wedding gown, Karen turned to Pronovias, who have an excellent selection to suit all tastes and figures. “I didn’t really have a particular style in mind. I just figured this was my one chance to truly feel like a princess! When I tried this dress on at Pronovias, I thought that although it looked like a traditional wedding dress it had a modern feel to it too.” The ceremony was celebrated at the Gozo Cathedral which is built within the fortified Citadella and stands at the highest point of Gozo. The couple wanted to stick to tradition, so they chose the bride’s parish church to celebrate the Mass. “One of the reasons we chose the wedding date was because it was close to the local feast of St Mary and so we knew that the cathedral would be beautifully decorated. The flower arrangements were made out of white hydrangea, lilies and roses.” Karen says she was quite calm throughout the morning of the wedding as everything was going to plan. “But the nerves started kicking in on the drive to the church, as I could not believe that the moment we had be planning for the last few months had finally arrived. I had always dreamt of walking down the aisle with my Dad and I am forever grateful that I got the opportunity to fulfil my dream. When I walked in and saw so many family members, friends and Anthony standing there at the altar the nerves quickly turned into excitement and I had to fight back tears of joy!”
