Our choice fell on the charming, little town of Oia in Santorini Island, Greece. The wedding dress was by Spanish designer, <a title=\"Pepe Botella Novias\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pepebotellanovias.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pepe Botella Novias<\/a>, and was chosen because of how it suited the Mediterranean setting, and because of how it&rsquo;s layered skirt fluttered in the wind. I also felt that orchids would make a perfect wedding bouquet for such a dress. The wedding cake was styled with shells and sea flowers. We did not want to overload our wedding with details, decorations and entertainment, but we did do a sailing cruise to the volcano for us and our guests between the ceremony in the church and the reception dinner. We also secretly prepared an exciting swing dance for our first dance, which took our guests by surprise.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Santorini Greece Wedding, dress by Pepe Botella Novias, photo by John and Joseph Photography\" alt=\"Santorini Greece Wedding, dress by Pepe Botella Novias, photo by John and Joseph Photography\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/january2012\/seaside-wedding-in-greece-photo-by-john-and-joseph-photography-5.jpg\" width=\"600\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Santorini Greece Wedding photo by John and Joseph Photography\" alt=\"Santorini Greece Wedding photo by John and Joseph Photography\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/january2012\/seaside-wedding-in-greece-photo-by-john-and-joseph-photography-6.jpg\" width=\"600\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Santorini Greece Wedding photo by John and Joseph Photography\" alt=\"Santorini Greece Wedding photo by John and Joseph Photography\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/january2012\/seaside-wedding-in-greece-photo-by-john-and-joseph-photography-7.jpg\" width=\"600\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding?<\/b><i> We loved the decision about having our wedding on Santorini.
