Entering the church with my father was very special for me.

“It all started in Venetia.” Cristina de Ena y Marcos Arteaga’s wedding was a beautiful affair in the Guadalajara Monastery of Spain.

1How did you two meet?: Marcos is the cousin of one of my best friends and one day she decided to introduce us. After that moment, we have been inseparable.
2A moment: Without a doubt, when he proposed in Venetia!! It was the most romantic thing I have ever lived.
3The gown: It was done by Lorenzo Caprile, a magician crafting dresses!
4The reception site: We celebrated our banquet at the Lupiana Monastery, the most spectacular place to celebrate a fairy tale wedding. For everything to be perfect, La Cococha, Rocío Gandarias did our catering and the church was conveniently right next door.
5 The bouquet and flower arrangements: The flower décor was made by María Barreiros. She makes exquisite things!
We gave masks
to all our guests
during the dance period”
6The song for the first dance: We danced a Vals, The Emperor played by Borja Navasques de Sonico
7 You enjoyed the most: Without a doubt, dancing. Borja played a great selection of songs that had everyone on their feet during the whole affair. We wanted to give it a special touch by handing out masks to all our guests, so it felt like a really fabulous masquerade party.
8 A special memory: When I entered the church. I will never forget the face Marcos had!
9Some advice: It is very important that the person who helps you get dressed is not nervous. My mother was so nervous that she couldn’t even buttoned any of the forty buttons that had my gown. In the end I had to ask for my cousin to do it, but it almost came to a point that the photographer would have had to do it! To relax is fundamental to be able to fully enjoy the most important day of your life.
You have to live it like you are
the leading lady of a movie.”
