Sometimes, life has a way of bringing people together, even after time and distance. Cynthia and Anthony’s love story is proof of that. They met during their freshman year of college and quickly became close friends. But as Cynthia’s path took her to an East Coast school, they eventually drifted apart. Years later, fate gave them another chance, reconnecting them as old friends with no idea that their story was only just beginning. After one catch-up dinner, they knew this was more than friendship—it was love. From that moment on, they were inseparable.
When it came time for her big day, Cynthia wanted a gown that felt as special as the journey she and Anthony shared. She chose a Leah da Gloria brocade ball gown with a Basque waist. The full skirt and luxurious fabric created a look that was both dramatic and timeless, the kind of gown that commands attention yet feels classic and elegant. It made Cynthia feel confident, beautiful, and like a true bride.
“Dimitras was hands down the best bridal experience I could have ever asked for! Every step of the process with Dimitras was seamless and each and every person at the bridal salon cared so much about my special day and making my dress perfect. Dimitras eye for detail and hands on approach to bridal stylings is truly the best in the city. Dimitras truly has unparalleled service and the most gorgeous selection of couture wedding dressings from around the world! I felt elegant, confident, beautiful and was glowing.” – Real Bride Cynthia
Their wedding day was a beautiful celebration of love and tradition, beginning with a traditional ceremony at a Greek church. Afterward, family and friends gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Chicago for a night to remember. White flowers and gold accents transformed the space into a sophisticated, romantic oasis. Cynthia and Anthony shared their first dance as husband and wife, and then the night truly came alive, filled with laughter, dancing, and joy.
To Cynthia and Anthony, thank you for letting us be a small part of your incredible day. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.
