“We met through so mutual friends. He lived in Park City Utah and I lived In Hattiesburg, MS. We were long distance for one Summer and then he moved to Hattiesburg so we could be together. After 8 years, we got married”, the bride shared with us.

“We hiked straight up a mountain in Park City, Utah about 2 miles straight up, I was dying and trying to catch my breath at the top, I was looking at the beautiful view at the top, and I turned around and he was on one knee. It was perfect!”, the bride said about the proposal.

“The ceremony took place in Cisternino Italy at Trullo Aurora. We had a very relaxing and laid-back day. We slept in, went for a morning jog, our air b&b had breakfast made for us, and then we started getting ready for the ceremony. As we got ready we drank homemade wine from our air b&b’s vineyard. Only 8 Euros and so good! We just wanted no stress, low costs, and a beautiful back drop, which we definitely achieved that in Italy!”

“We knew we didn’t want to rent a venue for just us two, so we decided to get married in the yard of our Air b&b, since it was just us two. When we looked into getting the Air b&b we wanted to make sure the scenery was beautiful. I was also obsessed with all the Trulli houses, so when I found one we could stay in with a beautiful yard, we decided that was it! The hosts were perfect and I wouldn’t have changed one thing! The name of the Air b&b was the Trullo Aurora.”

“I think wearing my mother in law wedding dress in some of the pictures was really special and I knew it meant a lot to her. I also loved the fact that I wore his great grandmothers wedding bands as my something borrowed. Also, the host at our Air b&b was so sweet and videotaped our ceremony for us. He also booked us a table at his favorite restaurant in town and drove us there! I can’t forget to mention Fabrizio and Romina. They were so cute and fun! My husband made them laugh and it was fun to be riding around town with them and taking pictures! Our pictures and wedding video of our ceremony were perfection. People were extremely impressed with their work. I’m so happy that I have these memories for our children to see.”
