The Chou's Long Beach Wedding


They found love on a dating app! Joe and Cressan got married at a stunning venue, The Ebell Long Beach. Cressan wore our Antonio Gual 'Sonnia' gown. The wedding was stunning, but the love they share is even better. Thanks to Joe and Cressan for letting us be a part of their special day!


How They Met

"Through a dating app, Coffee meets bagel."

Knowing 'Sonnia' was THE dress

"I chose the 'Sonnia' because when I looked at myself in the mirror, everything lit up like I was in a movie. It may sound cheesy, but it looked like I was glowing. I couldn’t stop smiling and staring at the dress. I wore the dress for a long time before moving on to the next dress."

One Special Moment

"My favorite part was the money dance. The money dance is a Filipino tradition and I got to share that experience with my friends and family. Everyone had fun pinning money & blessing us. They kept on coming back to pin some more cash (fake cash). It lasted longer than we expected, the DJ had to play more songs than we planned."

A Speech to Remember

"My favorite quote was from when Joe proposed to me: “When I came home after the military, it didn’t feel like I was home, until I found you. I'm finally home."
