A Bride's Story

TALAR'S STORY: THE PROPOSAL

In Talar's first blog, we heard the story about how their relationship started. She also mentioned, Serj said if the Kings won at the Stanley Cup Championship, he would propose! Three months later, they were both in for a surprise. Here’s Talar and Serj’s proposal story, from the groom’s perspective! 

There comes a time in a man’s life where dreams turn into reality, especially when you make that choice to wake up from your dream! From our first date on, I knew I was living in a dream in the presence of Talar. I would refer our dates to my friends as being on “cloud 9” and how she would hear the good, the bad and the ugly in my day to day life yet remain very optimistic of my outcomes. She was always a positive and loving presence that I cherished to have week in and week out. That’s when I knew I wanted to turn this into a life long friendship. I say friendship because it’s not just love that keeps us together, but our passion to strive and be a strong presence in our Armenian community and family life.

TALAR'S STORY: HOW IT ALL STARTED

Serj and I met in September of 2013. Our first date included an amazing dinner at Café Santorini in Pasadena followed by drinks at the beautiful Perch in Downtown. Never had I ever had a first date like this… filled with so much laughter, so much smiling, and really a wondering if it was all real. Serj and I are very opposite in many ways, but we’re also alike. We have different tastes in music and movies, but both love sports and spending time with family! It keeps our relationship so very much alive and always interesting.

CHRISTINE'S STORY: A JOURNEY'S END

Now that the wedding bliss has passed, I want to share a little bit about my wedding planning journey and my experiences as a Harsanik Bride's Story Winner. Some girls spend their entire childhood dreaming about their wedding and what it would be like. This was not the case for me. When Victor proposed, it was like the world stopped for a minute. As soon as the news spread to our friends and family, the immediate question was "So when's the big day?!" That's when I realized we needed to start planning our wedding.

CHRISTINE'S STORY: TRASH THE DRESS PHOTOSHOOT!

Years before I even started planning our wedding, I was introduced to Pinterest. As I started my Pinterest search, the first images I came across were about a unique idea called "Trash the Dress" photography, where after the wedding, the bride and groom essentially "trash" their outfits to get some incredible photos. After our wedding I felt like I had to have a "Trash the Dress" photoshoot! Here are all the details of our "Trash the Dress" Photoshoot with Mher Vakahn Special Event Photography.
