She said yes! A marriage proposal in our Japanese garden
Who said romance was dead? Certainly not him. A few weeks ago, one of our guests turned part of the Japanese garden of the Dôme and the Jardin du Levant into a fairy-tale setting to pop THE question to their sweetheart. And the answer was… yes!
A setting prepared in the utmost secrecy
A small round table dressed in white voile, two wrought-iron chairs, a bouquet of white flowers, a candle in its holder… and above all dozens of candles scattered over the stepping stones and white gravel, to guide the bride-to-be to the table, facing our red pagoda.
The cake that asks the question
For the finishing touch, a white cake decorated with black ribbons, with the words “Helalim olur musun?” written in Turkish, a lovely way of asking “will you be my wife?”. As night fell, with the candles lit, a bouquet of red roses and the pagoda reflected in the pond, the setting was simply magical.
Congratulations!
The whole team sends its warmest congratulations to the happy couple, and a big well done to the groom-to-be for this setting: proof that true romantics still exist! We are very touched that our garden was the backdrop for this moment.
Planning a surprise too?
Marriage proposal, birthday, romantic weekend… Our holiday homes Le Dôme du Levant and Au Jardin du Levant open onto this Japanese garden, and Gîte O², with its private indoor pool and spa, is perfect for a romantic stay. Get in touch to talk about it: we'll keep your secret!
