When Tatiana and Patryk first connected on Tinder in the summer of 2019, they had no idea they were about to embark on a whirlwind romance. Despite attending rival Catholic high schools and likely crossing paths before, fate chose that moment to bring them together.
From a chance online match to a black-tie affair with a twist, Tatiana and Patryk’s love story is one for the books. Their February fairytale, complete with a stunning black Studio Levana gown, proves that true love is all about embracing what makes you unique.
For Tatiana, finding the perfect wedding dress was a lifelong dream. “I’ve known that I wanted to wear a black wedding dress since I was a little girl,” she reveals. Her search led her to Strike Bridal Bar in Milwaukee, where she discovered Studio Levana’s stunning designs. The moment she tried on her gown – a breathtaking black ballgown with a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder detachable sleeves – she knew it was meant to be.
"Don't let the opinions of others sway the decisions you make. Your wedding day should exude the uniqueness of you and your partner's personalities."
