Victoria and Alan’s story contains the element of every great romance – inescapable destiny.
Yes, there are some who believe only in placing one’s fate firmly in the hand of coincidence, but such skeptics are usually not my customers ;)
Victoria and Alan were introduced to each other in NYC by a mutual friend, though Alan first eyed his wife-to-be a few months earlier
at a wedding. Both of them were born and raised in Argentina. They grew up in the same city and had lived four blocks away from each other for a big portion of their lives, yet they never met, and only discovered this fact when they went on a trip to Argentina last year! Incredibly, Alan played rugby at a very small local club, where Victoria and her parents were members and spent large parts of many summers and weekends. Still, the time for their path to cross had not yet come.
Victoria and Alan married at the beautiful Harold Pratt Mansion.
A funny moment was when one of Victoria’s daughters fell asleep during the hair styling and they only made-up one side of her head until she woke up. You can see the sleeping beauty in the first pic below. The bridal preparation was at the Wedding Cafe and the make-up was done by Lilly Rivera at BridalGal.
Argentina, of course, is a great mix of people from many cultural backgrounds from its long immigrant history.
Alan comes from a Scottish/Irish background and Victoria is Italian/Spanish, but went to a Scottish School growing up.
Those meaningful cultural attachments are reflected in the photos, since Alan wore his kilt and
they entered and exited the ceremony as a Bagpiper fittingly played.
Here is a short slideshow of the event for you to watch:
