Derin Sule's Magical Wedding Day in Turkey

Our #GLBride of the week is Derin Sule, who made it official with her fiancé in our Delphine gown. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple held their topical beach themed wedding along the memorizing Aegean coast of Turkey. In the following interview, Derin shares how she brought California vibes to the Aegean coast and the miracle of finding her dream dress. As told by Derin:

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
It was exactly five years ago when we first met at the gym. From my husband’s side of the story, it was love at first sight! The moment he saw me, he knew that I was the ‘one’. It took him months before he can finally find the courage to meet me! I would never have imagined that a muscular, tough-looking guy as he was could turn out to be such a loving and warmhearted person! He truly is my best friend, my one and only companion in life. Despite our differences (I mean, opposites really do attract!), it is our love, passion and common interests that sticks us like glue. In other words, we complete each other! In the second year of our relationship, we have decided to move to LA to pursue our dream. Along the way, our little puppy, Matcha, has joined our family. Today, we live in San Francisco and we are looking forward to starting a whole new chapter in our story as Mr. & Mrs. Orhon!

How did you find your perfect dress? How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
I was just getting started to search for my wedding dress. My first appointment ever was with Galia Lahav in LA. Before coming in, I already had an idea of what I was looking for but after seeing all those sparkling dresses I wasn’t so sure anymore: I wanted them all! It was a place from heaven, so elegant and dreamy.

After admiring each and every dress, I picked some of my favorites to try on, and Anthony, who was the greatest help, also brought a few models which he thought would look great on me. I liked most of the dresses but none of them was the one and we didn’t have enough time. So, a few days later, I booked another appointment. The moment that I put on the first dress my search was over! It was the most perfect dress and I was in love! It fit me like a glow as if it was tailor-made just for me. With butterflies in my stomach, I left the store to discuss it with my husband. On my way back to take this gorgeous dress back home with me, I was devastated by a call from Anthony. Apparently, right after I left, someone else bought my dress! My heart was broken. I knew that no other dress would ever look or feel the same, but I had to keep looking because eventually, I would need a dress!

A few months later, my fiancée and I were visiting New York for Christmas. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and booked appointments with selected stores, including Bridal Reflections. I truly believe in miracles, especially after this unforgettable experience! There it was, the very exact dress that slipped through my fingers a few months ago in LA, waiting for me in New York! It was meant to be. I am so grateful to be among the very few brides who are destined to wear their dream dress at their wedding!

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
Definitely the ceremony would be on top of my list! Walking down the aisle in the arms of the love of my life was beyond magical! It was a beautiful beach setting, right on the edge of the deepest blue sea and the sun was setting on the horizon. No matter how long you picture this perfect moment in your head, actually living it is a unique sensation that no words can ever describe! My heart was pounding out of my chest. As we were passing everyone by, we were overjoyed by watching all of their smiling faces and happy tears! Sharing one of the happiest and most sentimental days of your life with the people you love the most was priceless… I am so grateful for every moment of our wedding which was way above my expectations! It was truly an unforgettable night that will remain the main topic of every conversation for a very long time, especially our surprise Apple giveaway!
