Sariana and Shaun’s wedding was a heartfelt summer celebration centered around their love, faith, and the people who mean the most to them. From their private communion before the ceremony to emotional vows shared in front of their closest family and friends, their day at Mukogawa US Campus was filled with intentional moments they’ll never forget. Congratulations Sariana and Shaun! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!

Shaun’s proposal made an already meaningful place even more special. While celebrating their anniversary at Dockside, the two took a walk along the boardwalk before dinner, where Shaun had arranged for his parents to take anniversary photos. It was there that he got down on one knee in the very same place his parents had gotten engaged! He even picked out Sariana’s ring himself, with a little secret help from her Pinterest page.

Sariana’s dress journey proved that sometimes your perfect gown is completely different from what you imagined. She originally pictured herself in floral lace, beading, and sparkle, until her maid of honor convinced her to try just one classic satin gown. The moment Sariana stepped out of the fitting room, she burst into tears and instantly knew satin was the direction she needed to go. At their final stop, Believe Bride, she found a timeless satin gown with buttons down the back and a beautiful long train that made her feel beyond beautiful.

On July 12, 2025, Sariana and Shaun were married outdoors at Mukogawa US Campus. Even with the summer heat, Sariana was so wrapped up in the excitement of marrying her best friend that she hardly noticed it. Before the ceremony, the couple shared a private first touch and communion with their pastor while standing back to back, allowing them to have an intimate moment together while still saving their first look for the aisle.

One of Sariana’s favorite moments was exchanging vows with Shaun. With both of them in tears, they poured their hearts out to one another in front of God and all of their family and friends. After waiting all day to see his bride, Shaun finally saw Sariana for the first time as she walked down the aisle, making the ceremony even more emotional.

Another memory Sariana will always treasure happened before the ceremony with Shaun’s mom, Shaina. She had written Sariana a letter, and the two shared a private moment together while Sariana opened it. Being able to share those words, emotions, and happy tears together made it an unforgettable part of the day.

Her advice for future brides? “Do not stress out as the wedding gets close! I planned my whole wedding with some help from family for decorations, and I was so happy that everything was figured out to where I didn't have to do any setup the day of. If your venue allows you to decorate the day before, do it, and if you can take a few days or a week off before the wedding to just pamper yourself and make sure everything is in order, do it!”
