Guaranteed to make you smile...

All of our One Fab Day real weddings are joy filled occasions, but every now and then an extra special real wedding couple comes along that just full on makes you smile. Kristina and Simon are one of those. The happiest pair, Kristina and Simon's wedding is just so much fun - from the gold balloons and flower crowns, to the non-stop dancing and beaming sun - this wedding captured wonderfully by Through the Woods we Ran is sure to brighten up your day...

Super fun city wedding by Through The Woods We Ran | onefabday.com

A cute and fun loving couple from the offset Kristina and Simon met at a Rubik's Cube party (where everyone shows up in an outfit that features one item matching each colour on a Rubik's Cube) back in 2009. Kristina remembers..."We hit it off straight away. After the party we went out dancing together. On the way home we stopped to get a meal, but we only had $2 each so we shared a cheeseburger. I gave Simon my number at the end of the night and that was it."

A match made in loved up heaven, Kristina and Simon decided to buy two puppies together (seriously, could they get any cuter) - and just like that Simon seized the moment and proposed. Kristina shares the memory..."We had just got ourselves 2 little puppies and Simon wanted to take them for a walk by the river. He brought his guitar along. It was near sunset and the puppies, being tiny, got tired and started walking really slow. At this point Simon picked them up and ran to the river so as not to miss the sunset. At the beach he played the guitar for me and sang for me, but I was getting distracted with the puppies that kept running away and trying to eat rubbish. In the end, when Simon realised he wasn't going to get a better moment, he got down on one knee and proposed. It was beautiful & unforgettable."

Unfortunately, just weeks before the wedding Simon's best man passed away, so the wedding became not just a celebration of Kristina and Simon - but also of Simon's best man and his life that was so tragically cut short. Kristina told us..."We partied hard – just like he would have."

Coming from contrasting cultures, Simon is Irish while Kristina is from Macedonia, Simon and Kristina's wedding was a fusion of wedding traditions, bright colours and lots of fun and music. Kristina describes the vibe of the wedding..."I always imagined Macedonian music and dance being part of my wedding. Simon comes from an Irish family, so we wanted to include part of that culture and tradition in the wedding. The combination of both cultures and traditions made the wedding very special and personal for you. Also, the fact that all of our friends and family (that come from very different backgrounds) embraced the uniqueness and weirdness of our wedding reception and had fun was very special for us."

Them smiles...

Keeping things budget friendly Kristina's sister designed all the wedding stationery and a cocktail style reception was chosen in favour of a formal sit down meal - resulting in lots more time for fun and dancing.

Huge congrats to you both and thanks so much for sharing your joyous wedding day with us all!
