For Barbara’s second dress, she wanted to wear a look that felt young and fun and that she could dance the night away in. To that end, she chose a short style with a crisscross back by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. “It was the best choice,” Barbara says. “The dress made me feel like a modern princess.”

“There is also a Hungarian tradition where you have to wear a red dress after midnight—it’s called menyecske ruha,” the bride explains. “There was no question—I had to wear a Hungarian designer for this one, so I chose Mero. They created the dress of my dreams. It was sexy and sweet but also comfortable—exactly what I wanted.” Barbara planned all her looks with shoe pairings by Jimmy Choo in mind, designed to match the colors of her specific dresses.

Meanwhile, the bridesmaids were all dressed in cool pastels. “It was important for me not to pick a specific color but rather a palette so everyone could still express themselves however they wanted within the theme,” Barbara says. “I wanted everyone to feel comfortable. I had some of my family members for flower girls, and the guys were all just handsome in their black suits.”

“I just wanted a very traditional tuxedo,” Dylan adds. “And I made sure to shave.”

The couple exchanged vows in the church in Albertirsa, where Barbara’s parents got married 34 years ago. “All the people we love and care for were there,” Barbara says. “We all cried a little.” The church service was followed by a civil ceremony, which took place on a small island within a reserve on Barbara’s parents’ property. “The weather was perfect with a little cool breeze,” Barbara says. “It was a beautiful moment that we will never forget.”

“We were filled with excitement!” Dylan adds. “Since we were already done with the ceremony in the church, we were a little calmer for the second part. Before walking down the aisle, we were nervous, but as soon as we laid eyes on each other, we just started laughing, and this calmed our nerves. Of course we both ended up crying.”

Afterward, the newlyweds had trouble calming down. “We still had our first dance in front of us, and we were a bit stressed about it,” Dylan says. “But after we were done with that, we just enjoyed the great food and live music. We did a few pálinka shots and listened to some traditional Hungarian music as well while playing wedding games—if you want to know more, you had to be there!”

“It’s gonna take some time for me to get used to being called Mrs. Sprouse,” Barbara jokes. “Dylan’s been calling me his wife for three years now, so there’s not a lot of adjusting on his end. We’re excited to go back to LA to our pets and rest a bit—before we start planning the American wedding.”
