Darren Duncan & Roberta Booker
Keeping it Vintage
WEDDINGDAY: 16 December 2012
Darren and Roberta met online through mutual friends on a social network in 2007. Although Darren was still studying in England, they hit it off immediately and realized how compatible they were - after three months he came back to Malta and they became a couple. “It may sound like a cliche but we knew from very early on that we wanted to spend our future together; in fact we started looking for a place in the first year. Darren and I share the same values – we are very family-oriented, like spending quiet quality time together, however we also enjoy having fun, travelling, and going to concerts and festivals. We believe that one of the strongest qualities in our relationship is that despite our very hectic work commitments, we make sure we find time to be together. We have a crazy sense of humour and are the type of couple that finish each other’s sentences, even though we have quite different characters.” As devout Catholics, they both believed that marriage would seal their life-long commitment to each other. “We had always discussed getting married, but Darren still officially proposed with the engagement ring I had longed for, which he designed and had custom-made.” Roberta knew she wanted a classical lace dress with a sexy vintage style. “I had only been shopping around for an hour when I found my dress; as they say I knew immediately it was The One. It fit beautifully and had that very Hollywood screen siren vibe, with its Spanish lace, very long train, and off-the shoulder sleeves. I bought the dress from WeddingBells. Marquita was very helpful and we all fell in
