A Persian-Greek Wedding Crossing Cultures and Faiths


You’ll fall in love with this wedding that crosses cultures and faiths.

Spiro proposed to his now-wife, Varla, by surprising her at Ballast Point Park, surrounded by loved ones.

“We had spent our first Valentine’s Day there together 5 years ago. It was a really special day filled with lots of smiles and even more happy tears!”

When asked to describe her wedding day, Varla said, “it really was the best day of our life!”

The spectacular wedding was a fabulous fusion of two cultures and faiths. Combining quirky, Greek and Persian traditions, the couple wed at St. Philips Church in Sydney, followed by a Baha’i marriage ceremony, and finishing off with a amazing reception at the Doltone House.

On reflecting on the union of two families from different cultures and faiths, Varla said, “we celebrated our love amongst close family and friends with our traditions and customs present. Our wedding really brought out who we are in every way!”
