Behind the scenes

Get to know the main faces of this wedding celebration.
 
They will all be around until there is no one else!

Bride

Neuza

The one and only... The great bride!
She brings alongside her sisters Ana Sofia and Helga.

Groom

Stephan

No introductions needed... The amazing groom!
Followed by his brother Martin and best friend Holger.

Bridesmaid

Ana Sofia

We met when we were just five years old, and from that moment on, she became the constant in my life. Through every chapter, big or small, she has been by my side, even when we didn't realize it. Ana was there when I first met Stephan and knew, even before he did, that he was the man I would marry. A lifelong friend, my SOS, my June, and my person; this day could not happen without her standing right next to me.

Groomsman

Martin

My dear brother, who has always been so important to me and has given me so much. Although he never managed to persuade me to move to Switzerland, he was always there for me despite the great distance. And at the decisive moment, he influenced my fate, for without him, I would not have been in Scotland in October 2022. A brother, a guide, and a deep friend; having him by my side on this day makes it even more meaningful.

Bridesmaid

Helga

My Big Sis, my Ladybug. No matter where we live or how many storms life throws our way, our bond is unbreakable. It was at her place in Neuss that I had my first real date with Stephan, making her part of one of the most important moments of us as a couple. Kind, powerful, strong, fun, loving, and always by my side, I’m so grateful to have her standing with me on this special day.

Groomsman

Holger

My dear friend, whom I met in faraway Russia and with whom I have been through thick and thin for over 20 years. Across thousands of Kilometers, he has always been by my side as a friend, with support and advice, in the hardest and the best moments of my life. A friendship that has lasted decades, and now he’s here, sharing one of the happiest moments of my life.

To help us create the atmosphere we’re dreaming of, we kindly ask our guests to choose outfits in bright, soft, and pastel tones.
This detail is important to us and part of the overall visual experience of the day. As this is a beach wedding in Portugal at the height of summer, the celebration will take place in a relaxed, sun-kissed setting. We expect warm temperatures during the day (approximately 25ºC to 30ºC), with the ceremony held toward the end of the afternoon and into sunset.
For reference, we are sharing our mood board as inspiration and guidance.:
we recomend
  • Light, breathable fabrics suitable for summer and beach settings
  • Footwear appropriate for sand and uneven ground
  • A casual-chic style: elegant yet comfortable, rather than formal
  • Soft, luminous colors, avoiding dark or strong shades (examples like black, brown, vivid rosé/fuschia, deep purple, or bright orange, among others)
As the evening progresses, temperatures may drop slightly due to the ocean breeze, so we suggest bringing a light jacket, shawl, or wrap, ideally in a soft or pastel tone as well.
Thank you for helping us bring this vision to life. We truly appreciate your care and can’t wait to celebrate together.
