A Botanical Garden In California

July 12 . 2021

When Arabic Roots, Armenian Culture, and American vibes are all present in one night, then that’s definitely what we call: A wedding to remember!

Just when the Hollywood correspondent to Al-Arabiya TV decided to tie the knot in California, we knew we had to book our tickets fast and go to take a glimpse inside, or maybe two, actually a hundred!

After glamming up the bride, our destination was set: The groom’s house! A pre-wedding party with Armenian vibes was happening, and we assure you, the ambience was lit! Keeping up with the traditions, the groom’s family headed towards the bride’s house to pay them the last visit before things get official, and showered her with gifts.

Now off they go to tie the knot in a dreamy ceremony. The groom’s backyard was transformed into a vibrant botanical garden blooming in colorful flowers and exquisite details, beautifully designed to celebrate the couple’s happily ever after.

Oud perfumes, delicious bites, and a violinist were the first things we spotted, along with different celebrities that joined to celebrate Rafi and Narine’s love story such as Rima Fakih and Massari.

A dreamy-romantic customized song was written especially for their grand entrance, which made us feel like we’re witnessing a fairytale coming to life! To describe the vibes in short , the party was Epically Lit!

Especially when Guy Manoukian joined the party and elevated the celebration! To end it on an unforgettable note , Lebanese singer Rami Ayash made sure to rock the party and have all guests dance the night away !
