Love has a way of finding us in the most unexpected places. For Anjelica and Anthony, it all began with a casual introduction by her cousin, which quickly turned into a connection over chips and guacamole. From those first moments of laughter and shared bites, their love story blossomed, taking them on a journey that led to a dream proposal in Greece and, eventually, a stunning wedding in their hometown of Chicago.
Anjelica and Anthony chose to celebrate their union in the city they call home, embracing the vibrant spirit and rich history of Chicago. Their wedding day was nothing short of a true Chicago affair, blending timeless elegance with the modern energy of the city.
The ceremony took place at the breathtaking **Saint Mary of the Angels**, a church known for its grandeur and architectural beauty. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by the warm glow of love from family and friends, all set against the stunning backdrop of the church’s ornate interior.
Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at **RPM Events**, a chic and stylish venue that perfectly matched the couple’s vision for their big day. Guests were treated to an evening of delicious food, dancing, and memories that will last a lifetime.
When it came to her wedding day look, Anjelica turned to Dimitra’s Bridal Couture to find the dress of her dreams. She chose a custom **Leah da Gloria** gown crafted from luxurious silk Mikado, featuring jeweled straps that added the perfect touch of sparkle. The gown’s detachable overskirt brought a sense of drama and elegance, allowing Anjelica to make a grand entrance that left everyone in awe.
“I love all my girls at Dimitras!! I felt so special every time I visited. They really know their dresses and what works for your body and the selection of dresses is unlike any other store in the area!” – Real Bride Anjelica
Reflecting on her wedding day, Anjelica shared with us how she felt in her gown: “I felt so glamorous and confident during my fairytale day.” And it was easy to see why—her dress perfectly captured the essence of the love story she and Anthony share, blending classic beauty with modern sophistication.
Anjelica and Anthony’s wedding was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to their love, rooted in the city that brought them together. From the ceremony at Saint Mary of the Angels to the unforgettable reception at RPM Events, every detail was infused with the spirit of Chicago, making their day truly one-of-a-kind.
At Dimitra’s Bridal Couture, we are honored to have played a part in Anjelica’s wedding journey, and we wish the newlyweds a lifetime of love, happiness, and, of course, more chips and guacamole!
