Behind Kris Fade and Brianna Ramirez Wedding on Dubai Bling

Dubai Bling is a new Netflix series that depicts the glamorous lives of a group of celebrities in Dubai. Millionaires are followed in their daily lives against the backdrop of luxury cars, fashion shows and exotic seaside resorts. 

Lebanese-Australian Kris Fade (Kristian Fahd) is one of those celebrities on the Show. Moving to Dubai in 2008 from Australia, Kris launched the first Virgin Radio station in the Middle East. Since then, the Kris Fade Show has become the number 1 listened to morning show in the region. Kris' career took off becoming a TV Host, MC, Brand Ambassador, Musician, and an Entrepreneur - a true celebrity media personality.

On Dubai Bling Kris got married to his long-term Mexican-American partner, Brianna Ramirez, in a lavish wedding that was the highlight of the last episode. 

The wedding took place on 22 March 2022 among friends, family, and some of Dubai’s most recognizable faces, including Farhana Bodi, Mona Kattan, Caroline Stanbury, Sergio Carrallo, Michelin star chef Vineet Bhatia from Netflix’s The Final Table, former unified boxing world champion Amir Khan, and several sports personalities among others. Kris’ co-hosts and friends Priti Malik and Brent Black were also there to support him as a bridesmaid and groomsman. The entire wedding was live-streamed on the radio presenter’s Instagram, allowing his fans to witness and be part of the special occasion. 

Destination wedding planner Tasneem Alibhai, founder of TA Weddings and Special Occasions, shared details of Kris Fade's wedding that she designed and planned. 

How They Met - 2014, Dubai

On Kris and Brianna's wedding website, Brianna says: "We met on his favorite platform, Instagram. Kris slid in the DM's. True Story. We saw each other for the first time at a Lady Gaga concert, our first date was at a gym, and the first place he took me to eat was at Ravi's in Satwa. As you can see, we tried to keep it very casual. Being in a relationship was something we both weren't ready for, but sometimes love finds its way."

The Proposal - 2019, Amman

"What was meant to be a private meet and greet with Will Smith during the premiere of Aladdin in Amman, Jordan turned into the most unforgettable day of our lives," said Brianna. "If standing on top of a building in Amman with Will Smith trying to get the perfect selfie wasn't enough, what I saw behind me through the camera is what took my breath away. As I quickly turned around, I saw Kris on one knee with a little box in his hands. I couldn't believe it at first (probably because he faked it once before). After asking him several times if he was serious, he finally said, "Yes, this is real" added Brianna.

The Wedding Dress

Brianna chose Australian brand, Martina Liana, to get her wedding dress from. Martina Liana makes exquisite couture bridal designs for the bride who radiates confidence, global glamour and impeccable style.

Brianna looked graceful and glamorous in her trumpet silhouette gown featuring an embellished lace top. She wore her hair in a low bun with loose strands at the front and a long lace veil, and held a wedding bouquet of white roses.

The bridesmaids were dolled up in one-shoulder gowns in blush pink. Kris’ daughters, Noushie and Kikki, were the ceremony flower girls. They wore matching dresses of the same color.

The Venue

Dubai has been home for Kris for 14 years and for 8 years for Brianna; it’s where they both met, and it holds a special place in their hearts. Afterall it is a great wedding destination where both families and friends, gathering from different parts of the world, will enjoy.

The wedding was held at The Ritz-Carlton located in Jumeirah Beach Residence. The ceremony and reception were held outdoors with the beach and the iconic Ain Dubai ferris wheel providing a uniquely romantic backdrop.

The resort has a large lawn area which was used for the ceremony. A long white aisle lined on both sides by magnificent pink, white and pastel flower arrangements, led the couple to a purpose built triangle-shaped structure covered with pretty flowers in different shades of pink and greenery.

The Setup

"We knew all eyes in Dubai would be on this wedding, and I had to ensure I executed this to perfection," said Tasneem Alibhai, the wedding planner. Staying true to their promise, Tasneem and her team rose to the occasion and gave the celebrity couple the best wedding they could have.

Kris and Brianna opted for something chic and not over the top. Tasneem and her team did a fabulous job decorating the venue with stunning details of plush pink and dark purples for the ceremony, making it look like a dreamy fairytale. The reception, on the other hand, was inspired by the couple’s love for modern aesthetics, incorporating black and white colors with silver accents.

The dessert station by Laduree looked elegant and scrumptious with several macaroon towers and mini desserts.

The Entrance

Both Kris and Brianna wanted to celebrate their cultures in a fun and unique way, so they incorporated traditional music into their wedding entrance. The Mexican-American bride made her way to the dance floor accompanied by a Mariachi Band playing a traditional Mexican song.

This was followed by the loud drums of a Lebanese Zaffe band that announced the groom’s entrance. Both bands then synced up to play a lively blend of Spanish-Arabic music that the wedding guests danced to.
