Good morning Claudia & Mariella! I woke up this morning feeling like I was still dreaming. Everything we’ve ever envisioned… every detail we worked so hard to plan, every change we stressed over… it was all so worth it. And that’s all thanks to you both. I could cry thinking about how magical last night was. You kept me calm, present, and let me fully live in the moment. I will never, ever forget this day for the rest of my life and I am deeply, deeply grateful. I’ll be sharing my review everywhere — every Facebook group, every channel…the world needs to know how incredible you both are. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts🤍
