Isabella + Camilo

Words from the bride, Isabella:

We met in our first year of university during orientation week. My first thoughts were 'wow he's cute, and he's in the same program!' 

Neither of us had a specific moment where we knew the other person was "the one", but Camilo told me once that about 3 years into our relationship, as I drove home from his house he had a thought that one day, we were going to get married.

The proposal was perfect. We had just moved everything from our old apartment into our current apartment and were back at the empty apartment to say goodbye and celebrate, with some wine, the first apartment we had had together. When we arrived, he had a bottle of champagne from the year we met (2008) waiting in the fridge, and then got down on one knee with the ring and asked me to marry him! It was super intimate and so amazing—we were both in tears and so happy!

For our wedding, we both wanted something simple and modern. I love fresh flowers, so we made sure that the majority of the decor was flowers. We picked a florist who understood our vision and she did such an amazing job!


We had to know if there was a story behind the pizza, so of course we asked:

Yes! We went to grab pizza at Una Pizza on our wedding day, not just because we were starving, but also because it was one of our first regular date spots (and we love their pizza)!


Favourite moments from the day?

Camilo said that seeing me walk down the aisle was his favorite moment. I loved the entire day but I really loved the time we had alone before the reception—we actually just watched a few episodes of Friends and relaxed before the evening began. I also loved the cake—it was delicious!
