The beautiful couple Rachid and Chahrazad renew their vows of twenty years of love.

It was 20 years ago in Geneva, a thunderbolt as in fairy tales. A first glance, a smile, a chat over a coffee, and since Rachid and Chahrazad Rizk stayed together. They had united their destinies in Las Vegas, but they wanted to celebrate the renewal of their vows of 20 years of love and marriage in the most famous city of romance. For this, they invited family and friends to a weekend of festivities in Venice to share all these so touching and important moments. They had the benediction of the priest at the famous church of the Madonna dell ‘Orto. A cocktail in the courtyard of the church followed the ceremony and in the evening a masked ball.

Magical masquerade

Friends have nicknamed rightly Rachid Caliph Haroun Rachid and his princess Chahrazad who knew to charm and keep him. The Polignac Palace, one of the largest palaces in Venice on the Grand Canal hosted the masked ball on the evening of the blessing. The welcome drink was followed by a sumptuous fine dining and then closing by an orchestra who made all guests dance until the first light of dawn.
