WEDDINGS
Christina DeFilippo & Raja Tarabishy photos by Rebecca Arthurs Photography, rebecca-arthurs.com Christina DeFilippo and Raja Tarabishy had an “in-statedesination” wedding that epitomized their sense of style and elegance, with a vintage vibe. The Lord Thompson Manor, inThompson, CT gave them the perfect setting for the summer wedding they dreamed of, and they loved the perfect “weekend getaway” feeling the venue provided. Christina and Raja met as two of the founding members of Pi Sigma Epsilon, a professional sales and marketing fraternity at UConn, and they started dating at the end of Raja’s senior year. The couple moved to West Hartford Center in early 2009 (centrally located between Christina’s Fairfield County family, and Raja’s family in the Northeast corner). West Hartford’s parks and shopping centers are often the backdrops for Christina’s style blog, Oh So Glam. Even after being together for 7 ½ years, Raja managed to surprise Christina during what started out to be a blog photo shoot at the West Hartford Reservoir on a mild day in December 2014. Raja put his camera down just long enough to get down on one knee. You can see photos and read all about the proposal at www.ohsoglam.com, search “perfect day.” Visit we-ha.com for more photos of this wedding, and other WEDDINGS. Christina runs a style blog at Oh So Glam.com. Follow her on Instagram: @OhSoGlamBlog
