It's a long way from Philadelphia to Symi
…and when there are no words left to say,
I will be in your arms, looking into your eyes –
and see I am exactly where I’m meant to be.“Then love knew it was called love.
And when I lifted my eyes to your name,
suddenly your heart showed me my way”

Following the daily cruise, there was a pre-wedding party at Petalo. A first taste of what the wedding party was going to feel like.
Our brides’ preps took place at the Old Markets Hotel, right in the heart of Megali Strata. Our favourite part of the island!
The Old Markets – is an exquisite, centuries-old national monument with enthralling views over Symi’s historic harbour. A painstaking restoration has delivered a quietly opulent boutique hotel offering the most luxurious lodgings to be had in Symi.
The ceremony took place at the old chapel Analipsi, accessible only by boat. Near the rock of Nimmos, surrounded by sea, this beautiful little monastery has a fantastically decorated small church inside. Basically, the only human presence in this bay is the monastery. The church inside is full of paintings, decoration and has a lot to be discovered. The miracles are depicted on the walls. Vines with clusters of grapes hanging from it decorate the courtyard around the church, and the ocean view from the chapel is breathtaking. A fascinating ceremony took place, so riven by emotions. Tears of joy glittered in the summer sunbeams, and in these eyes, our focus blurred. Our photographs, your moments to keep.
The reception was held at Ayia Marina, one of the loveliest beaches in Symi. The credit for the exotic scenery created for Cassey and Alex’s beach wedding decoration belongs to “Eventions” who organized every wedding detail to its best. Light, DJ services, Bartending, live music bands, floral decorations, catering services, wedding cakes – everything was selected with great care. Taxi boats were hired for the guest and the couple. This was a party that will not be forgotten. We partied along and naturally “stole” memorable moments of happiness and joy. Needless to say, the party went on until the early morning hours, when the last taxi boats took us back home.
