Lara
Lara - The Lucky Bride
Join us in celebrating as she embarks on a new chapter filled with everlasting love and cherished memories. So buckle up, world, because the best chapter of our story is about to begin, and you're all invited to raise a toast!
Stefanie
Stefanie - Maid of Honor- Brides Childhood Friend
This friendship we share is one that has stood the test of time, rooted in cherished childhood memories that remind us of carefree days spent playing outside until the sun began to set. Stefanie has been an integral part of my life since we were young, living just down the road from each other, she is like a beloved family member. From causing trouble in school to watching each other mature and grow up, from leaving London, moving abroad and still keeping in touch and first time meeting Stef’s child and feeling so connected to her son as if he was my own. Stefanie, I will forever cherish our friendship/sisterhood.
Michelle
Michelle - Bridesmaid- Bride's Home Away From Home Sis
Michelle, one of my first ever friends that I met here in Dubai. Michelle has lived in Dubai the same amount of years as me. Together we've been through a lot of ups and downs whilst living in Dubai's big city. Fun fact, Michelle was one of the first friends that has ever met Cesar. She always liked him and got pretty annoyed that he took so long to put a ring on it 💍, so Michelle would probably be one of the happiest knowing that he did the honors although still, up until now, she still says ‘Finally, took too long…take your time, why don't you, Cesar?’ So if you find her saying that at the wedding, just give her a drink or two and she might just stay quiet and realise that sometimes some things are better left unsaid. Michelle has always been a very sweet person inside and out. She loves to have fun, she's so bubbly, has got the biggest heart and has literally been through every step and everything with me here in Dubai and you always need someone like that when you live abroad. Dubai can be a big lonely city, but I'm very and forever grateful to have met you. Stay humble. Stay bubbly And thank you for growing up and maturing into the girl that you are today.
Miriam
Miriam - Bridesmaid- Brides Eldest Sister
Miriam, the eldest sister among four girls. You can always find her on the dance floor, moving and grooving, embracing the joys of life in every step. Miriam has a special way of focusing on the bright side, reminding us to appreciate the goodness that life throws our way. Her perspective is a constant reminder to cherish every moment and make the most out of every opportunity. Miriam, I can write a book about having you as my eldest sister, and I'm forever grateful to have a big sister like you. You are one person I have always looked up to. Thank you for being a constant source of positivity and for showing us that life is meant to be lived to the fullest! Thank you for making me an auntie to Oscar and Oliver and I can’t wait to see the boys suited and booted.
Dalia
Dalia - Bridesmaid- Brides Second Eldest Sister
Dalia, the second eldest sister, the wise one, if i say so myself, the smartest of the sisters, the one that you would go to if you need help on a specific project, if you need someone to retype something, reword something, or to just simply ask someone with a bigger brain. Dalia, the one who always has stood by us and will always be brutally honest with everything ( I mean everything). If you think the bride is direct you haven't met this sister. She can be a little bit shy so someone has to force her up on the dance floor. Any offers? Thank you Dalia for being honest and always putting us first and forever helping me with tasks. (Please note that Dalia helped by spellchecking this). D, I might occasionally be your annoying younger sister, but I will always admire you and be forever grateful to have you in my life.
Nadine
Nadine - Bridesmaid- The Mid Brides Sister
Nadine, the mid-child of four girls, the sister that has a very soft touch, sweet and very innocent. You'll enjoy making conversation with her. She's extremely friendly, sociable and just loves a party. She's also very direct but I guess that runs in the family. She is probably one of the emotional ones out of the four but if you find her randomly crying, don’t worry, that's normal. Just give her a tissue and cry with her. She'll be your friend forever. Nadine, please remain true to yourself and never lose your purity. You have the biggest heart ! Can’t wait to see you crying at the wedding , pre wedding or just in general.
Cesar
Cesar - The Lucky Groom
Join us in celebrating as he embarks on a new chapter filled with everlasting love and cherished memories. So buckle up, world, because the best chapter of our story is about to begin, and you're all invited to raise a toast!
Hady
Hady - Best Man - The "Older" Brother
Hady, the one and only older brother! Hady in one sentence: World-roaming, spice-loving party animal with a heart of gold! He craves adventures, burns like chilies, but shines brightest with his kindness. You blink, he's gone on some wild escapade, but his generosity and care always find their way back, warming everyone around him. One thing I can say for sure, is that Hady has always been that brother that has stood by me through thick and thin, so when he does (occasionally) make that phone call, he does take time to actually listen and guide me. He likes to be the big brother, gives me advice and stands by my side whenever I need him. So Hady… I'm not sure if you're actually going to reach this section of the wedding website. I sure hope you do, and if you do, wow, thank you so much for taking the time to read a couple of paragraphs. The below paragraph is the most important by the way… I would like to ask you, would you be my best man on my wedding? If you are interested in being my best man, please WhatsApp or call me. It will only take a few minutes, I promise ;) Can't wait to hear from you again bro. Best man. Always will be. Always have been.
Michael
Michael - Groomsman - Brother from another Mother
Michael, my brother from another mother, the one who I've shared all of my childhood memories with! We’ve bounced through phases and countries, loving life with every crazy twist! His heart? Bigger than any map - always there with a laugh, a joke, or a shoulder to cry on. Ladies adore him, much like they adore sunshine (which is a lot). So, if he strolls in fashionably late, a captivating smile on his lips, well, too bad, ladies, he remains unfazed. Michael, our most eligible bachelor, is strictly forbidden from bringing a plus one – after all, he's the most eligible bachelor to sell!
Zahi
Zahi - Groomsman - The Schedule Samurai
Zahi is Mr. Spreadsheet by day, Mr. Party-Time by night. Imagine a dude with a calendar color-coded , that's Zahi during the day. Mr. Organization himself, living by lists, Need a schedule for your chicken wing lunch break? Zahi's got it mapped out with estimated calorie intake. But when the sun sets, his suit melts away, the Spotify playlist kicks in, Vodka and ice are in place, the essential tools of a promising a long night of revelry followed by a big fatty meal at late hours. Don't get me wrong, his serious side is a lifesaver. He's the anchor in my wedding-planning storm, the shoulder to cry on, and the memory bank for everyone's requests. That's kinda what makes him awesome. He's like a well-organized tornado of fun, chaos, and endless support!
Georges
Georges - Groomsman - The Fuzzy Memory Maestro
Georges, a cherished friend who goes beyond the label of just a drinking buddy. He's the guy with whom every beer becomes a toast to unforgettable nights out, and every journey becomes an adventure. Yet, what sets Georges apart is not just the good times; he's been the pillar of support in moments when I needed a friend by my side. His caring nature extends beyond the surface, making him more than a companion for a night out – he's a true confidant and a genuine, supportive force in my life. He serves as a reminder that some friendships only grow stronger with time, no matter how much the world around us changes.
Firas
Firas - Groomsman - The "Wise" man
Firas may be miles away, but one call and you're talking to your brother. He's the missing puzzle piece to any night of fun! I will always remember those late nights, spinning stories and laughing until our stomachs begged for mercy. Those years are forever tattooed on our hearts. Firas’ advice isn't a lecture, it's a gentle nudge towards my own inner compass. Firas isn't just a sage dispenser of wisdom. He's the guy who'll drop everything to catch your late-night flight, the one who celebrates your victories like his own. He's the friend who disappears for months, then appears bringing a shoulder to lean on, no explanations needed. He's the proof that distance is just a number, and some friendships shine brightest across continents, one phone call at a time.

The Villa

Villa Barkley was built in the early 1900s by a British businessman named Sir Maurice Barkley. Barkley was drawn to Ischia for its beauty and its thermal waters, which he believed had healing properties. He built Villa Barkley as a winter retreat for himself and his family.


The villa was originally designed in the Art Nouveau style, but it was extensively renovated in the 1950s by the Italian architect Giovanni Russo. Russo gave the villa a more Mediterranean look, with whitewashed walls, terracotta floors, and wrought-iron balconies.


Villa Barkley has been home to a number of famous people over the years, including the actress Ava Gardner, the singer Frank Sinatra, and the British royal family. The villa has also been used as a filming location for several movies, including "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "The Godfather Part III".


Now that you have learned a little bit about the history of the villa and how much history it has and the type of people it has attracted in the past, let's hope it stays within this high-ranking sophisticated villa once Lara and Cesar’s wedding has been completely done.
