Before we dig into today’s wedding, I’m warning you – it has one of the most dazzling reception entrances you might ever see! Tommy and Reya held their modern destination wedding in the beautiful country of Lebanon. A mountaintop venue (hanging off a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean) served as their ceremony and reception venue. An aisle lined with lush white flowers including roses and calla lilies in the middle of a romantic garden hosted their vows, followed up by the couple’s unforgettable entrance to their reception, complete with dancers and fireworks. If this one doesn’t wow you, I’m not sure what will.

The Ceremony
We were married in Lebanon. Our ceremony was officiated by a Catholic priest in an outdoor setting, with the altar placed under an olive tree.
The Reception
The reception was steps away was from the ceremony, in an outdoor setting as well. The venue is on top of a hill overlooking the Mediterranean sea. It was a fairytale wedding for us and we would not change a single aspect of it.
Reya’s Dress Search
Growing up, I always had a different idea of what my dream wedding dress would be. I had envisioned a ball gown, however when I actually tried dresses on, I found myself swimming in the dresses. You definitely had to look for me in them. I tried on a few other styles at my mom’s request (mom is always right!) and found that the trumpet gowns definitely fit my body type better.
How Reya Felt in Her Wedding Dress
Tall, bridal, and happy.
Why Reya Decided to Sell Her Wedding Dress
As much as I would love to keep my wedding dress, I know it would be better off being used to celebrate another wedding rather than sit in my closet.
