A Ceremony Rooted in Symbolism
One of the most touching moments of the day was when Carolina and João planted a seed together in a vase—a symbolic gesture of their growing love and commitment. Under the warm Alentejan sun, they gently placed the seed into the soil, surrounded by the people they love most. It was a quiet, meaningful moment—one that will grow alongside them in their new life together.
