A Paris Proposal & Western Charm: Mirelda & Her Love Story with The Èlliance

A Paris Proposal & Western Charm: Mirelda & Her Love Story with The Èlliance

When we sat down with Mirelda Calderon to hear about her love story, we couldn’t help but smile. It began like so many modern romances — online, during the uncertainty of COVID — but bloomed into something beautifully timeless.

“The world felt closed and distant,” she told us, “but the moment restrictions lifted and we had our first date, it felt like the beginning of something truly special.”


A Shared Love & A Slow-Building Spark

What drew them together?

“He loved horseback riding — and so did I. That was one of the first things that caught my heart.”

But it didn’t stop there. The more they spent time together, the clearer it became:

“I couldn’t imagine my life without him. He quickly became my home — my comfort, my peace, my safe place.”

A Proposal Straight From a Fairytale

After Mirelda’s graduation, he whisked her away to Paris. And yes — it was just as magical as it sounds.

“He proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower. It felt like something out of a dream. I could hardly believe it was real.”

They also visited Venice, making the trip a chapter of their love story they'll never forget.

Pizza Nights & Western Flair

For this couple, it’s the simple moments that matter.

“Movie nights with pizza — that’s our thing. Just clocking out from the world and being present with each other.”

And their wedding reflected that same energy:

“A blend of classic elegance, timeless charm, and a touch of western flair.”

The Beauty of Small Details

When it came to the details, Mirelda was clear — she wanted meaning, not just aesthetics. That’s why she chose the Valencia Ivory Flutes & Cake Knife Server Set from The Èlliance.

“The small details mean everything to me. They leave the biggest impression, especially on a day like your wedding. These pieces become more than decor — they become keepsakes, heirlooms.”

Handcrafted, personalized, and deeply symbolic — the Valencia Collection was the perfect finishing touch to their timeless celebration.

Advice from the Heart

Before we wrapped up, we asked Mirelda if she had any advice for other couples planning their day. Her answer was honest, gentle, and full of wisdom:

“Stay true to what you love. Let your day reflect you. Don’t stress the small stuff — your guests won’t notice every detail. Things might go off-plan, but that’s okay. Be present. The day goes by fast, so soak up every second.”

Thank you, Mirelda, for sharing your story with us — and for choosing The Èlliance to be a part of such a meaningful chapter in your life.


Here’s to pizza nights, Paris memories, and love that lasts forever.
