The bride and groom exchange their rings during a secular ceremony in the backyard. After their civil ceremony took place at Lorient City Hall, the couple was surprised to find out that their guests had planned a secular ceremony for them as well.
When Alexandra and Quentin first were engaged, they planned to host their wedding ceremony and reception at a grand estate in the country. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to rethink their idea of a dream wedding. Instead of delaying their marriage any longer, the couple opted for a simple civil ceremony and a backyard reception in Lorient, France.
