She says, “We’d spent the day sightseeing and driving around checking out wineries, pretty villages and soaking up the Cypriot way of life. We were driving down a mountain and decided to stop at a viewpoint to take a photo. Matt had bought his professional camera and told me to face the mountains so he could take a photo of me. I was waiting for the click but didn’t hear it and turned around to find him down on one knee!” Here Darshana shares more details about their special day… ELEGANCE Timeless 39 REAL WEDDINGS
