The Preparation at Glass House
Melinda, believing Antoine to be out of her league, orchestrated their exits and elevator rides to coincide, silently inviting him to bridge the gap between them. Despite these efforts, their interactions remained wordless.
The turning point arrived unexpectedly when Antoine, in a serendipitous mishap, took Melinda's gym pass. This initiated their first real interaction, leading them to synchronize their workout schedules. As their conversations deepened, Melinda and Antoine came to believe they had found a lifelong companion.
With the engagement ring secured, Antoine, just two days away from the big question, began planning an at-home proposal with the help of Melinda's friends. This preparation and proposal quickly became an incredibly sweet memory for everyone involved.
The Tea Ceremony at Glass House
The lovebirds chose Tirtha for its sense of exclusivity and the private atmosphere it offers, setting it apart from the bustling resorts in Bali where the presence of wandering crowds and curious onlookers is commonplace.
Tirtha presented them with a serene, homely environment, free from interruptions and the public gaze. “It just feels like you’re at home,” both the bride and groom agreed, highlighting the comfort that Tirtha uniquely provided for their special day.
Even their guests were surprised by the level of intimacy achieved, not expecting the event to feel as personal and secluded as it did.

Antoine and Melinda envisioned their wedding theme as a blend of whimsy and simplicity. They opted for a soothing palette of white, beige, and various shades of green, deliberately avoiding any flashy colors to maintain the serene and refined atmosphere they desired.
Central to their floral theme was the elegant Ecuador Rose in dusty pink, a choice that added a touch of sophistication to the proceedings. Hanamizuki, known for its ability to weave magic into floral arrangements, was entrusted to bring this vision to life, transforming their dream into a real-life fairytale.

The Reception at Glass House
The bridal party harmoniously complemented the wedding theme and color scheme.
Grand Entrance
The bride's choice of a mermaid dress spoke volumes of her elegance, with its long sleeves and stunning silhouette that captivated all in attendance. The groom, in contrast, opted for a light cream, almost beige tuxedo.
The groom thought the calm demeanor of Tirtha’s wedding planners was a constant reassurance, especially in moments when panic set in for others; they instilled confidence with their promise of handling everything as needed. “When they say they will take care of it, trust that they will take care of it,” Antoine said.
The dedication was evident in their attentiveness to every detail, including the help of hiring a nanny for the children in attendance, improving the overall experience for parents!
Cake Cutting
The newlyweds said the service on the wedding day was nothing short of magical. Guests, including those with a background in hospitality, were unanimous in their praise for the quality of service, as well as the food and beverages provided.
The cocktails received special mention for their excellence. Antoine himself expressed his satisfaction, calling the event "a very big success," a sentiment echoed by all who were part of the occasion.
First Dance
Melinda fondly remembers the feedback from guests, declaring the wedding
“We loved everything. There were no hiccups. It was just perfect,” she reflected with joy.
