Welcome to part 2 of the wedding in Italy! Today is the wedding day and we start off by going to Lucca town hall. Before you can legally be married in Italy and for it to look legit in the US, you must first be married in “the eyes of Italy”. We headed over to the beautiful town hall for the simple ceremony with Janice and Chris’ two witnesses, Sally and Steve.
First an outfit shot. Janice and Chris have such great style, I kept wanting to get outfit shots of them, here is the one from the wedding day!
^ yay, married! ^ But once we got back to the Villa it was “shhh shhh don’t tell anyone!”
Janice and Chris know me well enough by now that when there is a sweet tree to be seen, they pose next to it for me! xoxo
Prosecco toast!
Their rings are too sweet. Janice’s is obviously gorgeous with the giant sapphire in the middle but if you look carefully you will see that they are engraved on the inside. The couple met at Sound Bites in Ball Square, anyone from around here knows that Sound Bites has *the best* pancakes around, and their fried mashed potatoes, oh ma gah. Mango Banana were the pancakes Janice was eating and Chocolate Coconut was Chris’ dish. So cute!
I am so in love with Janice’s dress, I love the off-white silk and the one shoulder strap. You don’t see too many dresses with the one shoulder these days.
The entire time in Italy, no occasion (or should I say hour?) went by without a bottle of prosecco nearby! You’ll notice a blue theme all around this wedding. Another thing that I loved was that all the guests wore blue. There group was small enough where that was something that was easy to achieve and it was a nice touch that Janice threw into the mix. Everyone looked so great together.
There was not one dry eye in the group. Even my viewfinder was fogging up. Because everyone got so close during the week, emotions overflowed as we listened to Janice and Chris exchange heartfelt vows that they wrote to each other.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a look! I think I will be making this a 4 parter, after all. Don’t forget to come back and see our day after shoot (Janice and Chris both in wedding gear!) around Lucca!
