T hough Sierra-Maria Massara and Andrew Perugini originally met when they were just eight years old (Andrew’s brother played hockey with Sierra-Maria’s cousin), it wasn’t until 2011 while the pair were attending

York University that their friendship began. Andrew proposed on October 2, 2015, during a date he had carefully

planned to celebrate the couple’s three-year anniversary. The date (or proposal, as Sierra-Maria would later learn) began with roses being sent to her throughout the day. Each rose had a little tag attached to it with instructions such as, “A driver will pick you up at 5:30” and “Meet me at the Thompson Hotel.” Per one of the notes, when Sierra-Maria finally arrived at the hotel suite, she entered with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she saw a note that said “Turn around!” There was Andrew, down on one knee, in a suite filled with treats, balloons, candles, and photographs of the couple. There was also a camera set up in the corner that had captured the entire proposal! Later, the pair celebrated over dinner before heading to a surprise engagement party with their closest friends and family in attendance.

The wedding took place on July 21, 2018 in Woodbridge, Ontario. Michelle Cundari of SINCERELY YOURS EVENTS provided full event planning and design services.

Sierra-Maria and Andrew’s six-tier wedding cake from FINE CAKES BY ZEHRA was the perfect reflection of their big day. The bottom tier was a nod to the ruffled skirt on the bride’s dress, while the ornate sofa on the fourth tier closely resembled the sofa covered in florals that the couple used during their portrait session. Each guest took home chocolate bonbons from SUCCULENT

CHOCOLATES AND SWEETS.After their whimsical garden wedding, Sierra-Maria

and Andrew embarked on the honeymoon-of-a-lifetime, where they visited the Maldives, Dubai, Lake Como, and Milan. “Each place was unique and unbelievable in its own way. We had an over-water bungalow in the Maldives, went on a desert safari while riding camels in Dubai, explored villas in Lake Como, and ended in the shopping capital of the world,” shares Sierra-Maria. Upon returning home to Woodbridge, the newlyweds settled back into daily life, where Sierra-Maria is a teacher and Andrew is a marketing director.
