On June 2nd, they chose the perfect wedding date, a tribute to the day they first met in 2017 on the Noordwijk boulevard in the Netherlands. Manny was at the beach with friends, went to a restaurant, and had an unexpected encounter with Martijn on his scooter, sparking love at first sight.
Though their meeting was brief, the connection was instant and deep. Martijn soon visited Manny in Naarden, and after three years, he proposed in a picturesque picnic setting. A plane with a banner reading "Hey Manny, Marry me!" flew by, and her joyful "Yes!" echoed through the air.
Choosing a modern approach, Manny and Martijn didn't rush into wedding plans after the proposal. They meticulously organized their Ibiza wedding, taking their time to ensure every detail was perfect. Their frequent trips to the island allowed for a unique period of connection. During this time, I had the pleasure of meeting this vibrant couple, radiating happiness and laughter. Their unwavering commitment to exchanging vows at Cala Tarida showcased Ibiza as their second home – a magical place with a unique ambiance. Meeting them at their charming Cala Tarida residence, alongside celebrant Bianca Noomen of Trouw ik Jullie, revealed a special connection between the couple and the celebrant. This connection was palpable during the beautiful and emotional ceremony.
