NOTES
One of the most memorable
moments of the wedding was the
couple’s choreographed samba
dance that kicked-off the reception.
Nickoe and Vedad practiced their
performance for over two months
and couldn’t wait to surprise guests
with their dance moves. “The
response we received from the
audience was absolutely electric
and something neither one of us
will ever forget,” recalls the couple.
The performance took place on a
custom white dance floor produced
by éclat decor inc., and was
captured on film by the team at
modern romance.
Guests were treated to a decadent three-course meal
catered by the rosewood hotel georgia and a
traditional Persian rice dish prepared by the couple’s
family. After dinner, DJ Sana Goldan had everyone
on the dance floor.
“In the end, everything went even better than we
expected” says the couple. “From the floral to the
decor to our dance, our vision for the day was fulfilled.”
LUXE
HONEYMOON
The newlyweds followed the wedding with a honeymoon in Hong Kong and Thailand where they stayed
at the racha, a luxe resort located on a tropical
island off Phuket. Similar to their engagement, Vedad
planned the holiday and the travel destinations were
a total surprise to Nickoe. The couple currently reside
in Jacksonville Beach, Florida where they both work
in the field of orthodontics.
