Besides, wine brings back memories of visits to my grandparent’s house as a child to be greeted by the smell of fermenting homemade beverage in his cellar. So when photographer Jonathan Borg suggested Meridiana Wine Estate as the venue for our wedding, I took him at his word. On the wedding day, Martin’s cousin Fr Blake Camilleri, travelled from Rome to Malta to celebrate our marriage and returned back the next day to finish off exams. Although we kept our calm throughout the day, I was kind of overwhelmed by the feeling that all eyes were on us while we exchanged vows and asked the page boy and flower girl to exchange sides a couple of times thinking Martin and I had each others’ rings on the wrong side, as guests giggled. ‘Jewel Tones’ was the chosen theme that set the mood. Roses in deep plum and bright pink were mixed with peonies and ranunculas in cream and light pink, deep green foliage, and hints of ruby red alstromeria and navy blue ernygium. As for boutonnières we had a mix of cream, pink and plum roses with ruby red ribbon covering the stems.
