Wedding Date on Jan 2, 2023

The concept of fate is deeply ingrained in Greek Mythology. Even in our modern times, there is something so mystical and magical about the country, especially regarding love connections. Elly Kappatos and Kais Khoury's love story began with an unexpected, clandestine encounter off the coast of Greece. "The universe had something special in store for us," Elly reminisces. They locked eyes on a boat near Cyprus: a chance meeting that defied the odds. "Neither of us was meant to be there that day!" she adds. Their connection blossomed into a relationship that spanned countries (between New Zealand and Jordan) and, eventually, crescendoed into an engagement. "Our adventure continued when Kais proposed underwater during a scuba dive in the Red Sea," the bride explains. "It was my first dive, actually.... and I was close to drowning, but said yes!"
