If it wasn’t for their best friends falling in love with one another, Alen and Nicole may never have met. It was only after Alen returned to California from Manhattan that he and Nicole were introduced by their mutual friends-turned-couple.
When it came time to propose, Alen gathered their closest family and friends – all wearing masquerade masks – and had a throne for Nicole to sit on, before he asked her to marry him.
Not wanting to stick to the usual all-white wedding, Nicole and Alen chose a colourful theme – from the stunning flowers to the bridesmaids’ contrasting red and yellow gowns.
“I​ ​was​ ​so​ ​over​ ​the​ ​all​ ​white​ ​weddings.​ ​I​ ​wanted​ ​some​ ​fall​ ​​colours.​ ​I​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​the​ ​warmth​ ​of​ ​the​ ​room​ ​all together,” said Nicole.
Their breathtaking wedding at The Beverly Hills Hotel came together with the help of Jonathan and Margot at the International Event Company, making the stress of wedding planning disappear and allowing the happy couple to truly enjoy the day.
“From​ ​the​ ​minute​ ​I​ ​woke​ ​up,​ ​seeing​ ​Alen​ ​after​ ​4​ ​days,​ ​and​ ​having​ ​this​ ​amazing​ ​singer​ ​sing​ ​as​ ​I walked​ ​down​ ​the​ ​aisle -​ ​it​ ​was​ ​just​ ​all​ ​magical.​”
