There is nothing more beautiful than a woman expecting child. The glow and tenderness are heartwarming and earn moms-to-be their place at the top of the list, second only the newborns, for the ooohs and aaahs of lookers on.
Now, when the bride-to-be is also a mom-to-be, for some strange reason the ooohs become 'oh' and stares turn towards the groom!
In Tina and Thomas' case, the stares are because they are just such a beautiful couple. She is fine scandinavian blonde, he is dark, masculine mediterranean and as we know, opposites attract and can be a very powerful combination.
Tina could be a wedding planner herself. Her class and good taste in designing table settings, place cards, and table linens left us all in awe. She is a skilled baker too, and she even made her own wedding cake - leaving the reception meal to the Italian family running the Villa, of course.
Tina is also full of surprises. Knowing her hubby-to-be's love for Elvis 'the King' and all of his repertoire, we found the perfect Italian male singer (even resembled him a little!) to perform 'Love me tender' as she met him at the altar for their symbolic ceremony in the garden.
Thomas too is full of surprises. During their photoshoot, Tina started feeling the weight of the busy day - or was it her tummy? - so Thomas grabbed the closest wheelbarrel and wheeled her to the table where they celebrated all day long with their friends and families.
The guests were full of surprises as well. As Danish tradition mandates, the tips of Thomas' socks were dutifully cut off! |
