Elianna Chavez and Sam Davies married on July 28, 2023 at the beautiful and historical Woodbine Mansion nestled just outside of Austin, Texas. The couple met overseas on the vibrant streets of Wales, when Elianna, a Texan soccer enthusiast, chased her passion for the sport across the ocean. Not too long after, on the golden sands of Rhossili Beach, Sam got down on one knee and asked Elianna to marry him.
Their wedding was a celebration of two worlds coming together. The bride radiated in her timeless satin gown, accentuated by ruffled sleeves. The groom was the picture of sophistication in his classic three-piece suit. During the ceremony Sam’s mother and sister serenaded guests with traditional Welsh songs, setting a joyous and heartfelt tone for the evening. The design was both elegant and meaningful, and incorporated details of their shared journey.
As favors, they offered bottles of their very own gin from the distillery they founded. Each bottle proudly wore an eagle to represent the USA, Elianna’s homeland, and a dragon, a nod to Sam’s heritage. One of the most heartwarming moments, however, was Elianna’s first look with her father. The emotions flowed freely as they locked eyes and took in the celebratory occasion. Post nuptials, everyone transitioned inside the Mansion for toasts, dinner, dancing, and cake.
