September 2024 may go down as one of my most travelled months in history. It all starts in Paris, France at a destination wedding anniversary event, then to an elevated office opening in Botswana, and a scenic road trip to South Africa. However, there was something unique about the next stop, Braga Portugal.
Here, its all about the fairytale wedding event between Shona-Lea Pope and Michael Osunsina in Braga, Portugal. The Quinta Lago dos Cisnes (a reference to the Swan Lake), is one of the most romantic wedding venues in Portugal known for its unique décor and beautiful surroundings. And yes, with a lake view! The venue was short of heavenly. I’ve recently been groomed in an environment of details, elevated details, so it was easy to zoom in on some of what the celebrants had planned out.
The luxury coach ride from the Melia Braga Hotel and Spa to the amazing sights of the environment, and the champagne reception, it was obvious that all guests were in for a remarkable 12 hours of fun. Yes! This event literally commenced at 12 noon from the hotel till 3am the following day. Beverages in all forms and sizes flowed like Victoria falls while at every turn, there was a table full of canapes and stomach filling condiments.
One of the most remarkable and breath-taking moments was the cake cutting session in the middle of a pool. From the sparklers grand entry of the couple to the synchronized fire works during the toast, it was all about a script out of a blockbuster movie.
The after party featured chart topping afrobeat songs, an endless flow of fine wines, fruits and sweets, and a scheduled luxury coach departure back to the official hotel. The photos will tell the rest. Congratulations to the officially newlywed and their families for putting up such a memorable event.
