Zoe and Christopher’s elegant wedding brought 200 guests, the majority from Australia, across the globe to Athens. To celebrate their love, the pair hosted two events: a pre-wedding beach party at Krabo Beach and the main event held at the new Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel along the beautiful Athens Riviera.<\/p>\n

The day of their main wedding event saw the couple tie the knot at a traditional ceremony held at Agios Georgios \u2014 a church just down the road from the reception venue. Then, with the ceremony out of the way, guests were treated to delicious signature cocktails, roaming canap\u00e9s and a long-table reception with a three-course meal overlooking the ocean.<\/p>\n

Highlights included a beautiful three-tiered cake, fireworks, and a live performance from famous Greek singer, Glykeria, that got everyone out of their seats and dancing the night away.<\/p>\n

“The setting was magic,” says the bride. “Our photos say it all.”<\/p>\n

Zoe was three months pregnant with their daughter when Chris popped the question. “We had a couple’s massage and stayed at a villa at Crown Casino, Melbourne. The room was covered in rose petals.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
