Our Wedding

Welcome, family and friends! We are so grateful to have you here as we begin the most beautiful chapter of our lives together. On May 9th, 2026, surrounded by our loved ones we’ll celebrate our journey and the love that brought us here. From the moment our paths crossed, life has felt a little brighter, a little softer, and a lot more full of love. Through every laugh, every challenge, and every moment in between, we’ve built something strong, simple, and true — a love that feels like home. Our wedding day will reflect who we are: timeless, heartfelt, and filled with joy. We can’t wait to share this special day with the people who have supported and loved us through it all. Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to celebrate with you! With love, Shyann & Dimitri
