Restaurant celebrations never fail to inspire us. It\u2019s Philly, after all, and we have numerous restaurant wedding venues<\/a> perfect for your tastes. For this couple, their Dandelion<\/a> micro-wedding served as a way to highlight their past and future \u2014 in London and back home in Philly. Anna Panutsa Portraits<\/a> photographed the intimate celebration below.<\/p>\n

The idea for Emiko Edwards <\/b>and Razvan Iorga<\/b>\u2019s London-meets-Philly-themed micro-wedding came about only after they\u2019d settled on the Dandelion for their reception. It was a fitting choice: The Chestnut Hill pair met in 2015 across the pond, where they both lived at the time. Because the wedding menu was important to the duo, their prep included visiting local restaurants \u2014 a search that led them to an ambience they love (British pub) and Emiko\u2019s favorite dessert (sticky toffee pudding).<\/p>\n

The Dandelion was also available on their timeline. While they\u2019d gotten engaged in 2020, they didn\u2019t start planning until the fall of 2021. They wanted to wait till Raz\u2019s parents, whom he hadn\u2019t seen in two years due to the pandemic, could travel to the U.S. (They reside in London.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The celebration ended up being a tale of love in two cities. Local violinist Anastasiia Mazurok, a friend of the bride, played \u201cFarewell to Stromness\u201d during the Quaker ceremony at John F. Collins Park. (The song was also performed at Prince William and Kate Middleton\u2019s union.) \u201cI was touched,\u201d says Emiko, a pianist and professor. (Raz is a surgical resident.) And the dinner dished out rabbit pie and Big Ben cocktails.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the future? Travel \u2014 to their big wedding in Bucharest, where Raz was born.<\/p>\n
