Weddings are often one of the happiest occasions we can attend, as they celebrate not just the beginning of two lives joining together, but they bring together family and friends. Jessica and Chris’s wedding brought together smiles and laughter, love and friendship. The couple was married at Villa Siena April 26, 2014.

Their welcome table for guests was filled with pictures of loved ones. Outside, candles lined the aisles as guests were seated, while the altar was adorned with flowers and candles.

Jessica made a stunning statement in her strapless gown with rouching across the bodice and a layered and ruffled skirt. Satin stripes gave the gown a unique character. Finished off with a classic up-do, tiara and diamond earrings, Jessica was the epitome of a princess marrying her prince. Her bouquet brought together yellow and purple flowers with greenery. Her bridesmaids wore black floor-length gowns with a single shoulder strap. They each carried a smaller version of the bride’s bouquet. Chris was the perfect prince in a black tuxedo with black bowtie. His groomsmen also wore tuxedos with bowties.

The couple chose Sam Cooke’s Nothing Can Change This Love for their first dance. The strength of the bonds both the bride and groom have formed of the years was evident in the speeches made. The best man has known the groom for ten years.

The day was filled with sweet treats for their guests from a gelato bar to the two mini macaroons given as favors, to the three-tiered wedding cake that brought a romantic mood to the reception. The cake was square with gold drops running down the top edge of each layer. The cake topper was a couple dancing in a crescent moon.

At the end of the night the prince and princess were whisked away in the white Rolls Royce after their signature Villa Siena sparkler farewell.

Congratulations Jessica and Chris. May your life be lived like a fairytale with happily ever afters ending each day. We wish you the best.
