He got down on one knee on the beach just by my familys place, she remembers.
It couldnt have been more perfect.
My mum especially went above and beyond, and I cant thank them enough.

My mum and I were immediately excited about the journey to find it, she remembers.
It felt timeless, with modern touches, and was just perfect for the October weather.
As it happens in the movies, when Matilde found the dress, she just knew.
During my first fitting in Paris, my mum and I browsed archive books in person, she explains.
When the fall 1996 look was pulled, I knew it was the one.
We made slight adjustments, including changing the color to a more bridal white and removing the trousers underneath.
She turned to Massaro Paris for Chanel for her wedding shoes, which drew inspiration from classic Chanel designs.
Im forever grateful to have shared it with her, she adds.
Unsurprisingly, Matilde wore jewelry from her eponymous brand for her wedding day.
I just wanted to look and feel like myself, the bride says.
I wanted it to be a small token from me to them.
