Too many caught glances\u00a0to be coincidence, John Tzifrakos decided to introduce himself to Daniella Inquanti.<\/p>\n

“I saw her in the corner of my eye, she caught me looking at her, then I caught her looking at me. I knew then I had to go over and finally introduce myself,” recalls John.<\/p>\n

That moment was the\u00a0beginning of five years packed with fine dining, weekend trips, laughs, gifts, and getting to know each other – which would eventually pave the way\u00a0to their elegant wedding.<\/p>\n

John, 29, and Dani, 28, from Melbourne, married on February 25, 2017 among 210 guests. The grand soiree took place at the Regent Theatre Plaza Ballroom<\/a> in Melbourne’s CBD, and embodied pure elegance through and through.<\/p>\n

“What we love about our wedding is also the reflection of what we love of each other,” says bride Dani. “Commitment, understanding, and making no compromises on what is important to us both as a couple. We make the most of our time together.”<\/p>\n

Dani’s advice to other couples on the same journey is “be extremely organised <\/a>and give yourself at least 12 months of continuous commitment. Allow plenty of time between the ceremony and the reception, and put a strong emphasis on the venue and entertainment<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“We\u00a0finished the night with a farewell to our guests on a horse and carriage which took us for a midnight stroll through the CBD before taking us to\u00a0Grand Hyatt Melbourne<\/a>,” says Dani. “It was actually a very relaxing and fine way to complement the night.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":189263,"parent":0,"template":"","au_real_wedding_category":[6856],"au_real_wedding_tag":[7367,6980,7070,12671,7145,7412],"au_real_wedding_style":[9007,9010],"au_real_wedding_location":[9045,9027],"au_real_wedding_setting":[10691],"au_real_wedding_colour":[10571,10574,10578],"au_real_wedding_competition":[],"class_list":["post-189257","au-real-wedding","type-au-real-wedding","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_real_wedding_category-6856","au_real_wedding_tag-champagne-wedding-2","au_real_wedding_tag-elegant-wedding","au_real_wedding_tag-luxury-wedding","au_real_wedding_tag-plaza-ballroom","au_real_wedding_tag-real-weddings","au_real_wedding_tag-studio-477","au_real_wedding_style-elegant","au_real_wedding_style-luxury","au_real_wedding_location-melbourne","au_real_wedding_location-vic","au_real_wedding_setting-function-event-centre","au_real_wedding_colour-black-wedding","au_real_wedding_colour-champagne-wedding","au_real_wedding_colour-ivory-wedding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-real-wedding\/189257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-real-wedding"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-real-wedding"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-real-wedding\/189257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_category?post=189257"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_tag?post=189257"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_style?post=189257"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_location?post=189257"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_setting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_setting?post=189257"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_colour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_colour?post=189257"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_competition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_competition?post=189257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
