Alma & Tony were married in the Toscana Courtyard on a beautiful June afternoon at Villa Siena…..June 12, 2011!  Tony initially discovered Villa Siena and then brought Alma to visit.  She loved it!   Tony had a fun surprise for their guests during their ceremony. Just as the officiant pronounced them husband & wife and told Tony he may kiss his bride, the Best Man leaned over & gave Tony a spritz of minty breath spray before going in for the kiss that had everyone laughing and clapping!  In Albanian tradition, guests showered the bride & groom with rice, candy, and coins as Alma & Tony made their way back down the aisle together. Tony, Alma and all their guests danced the night away to a mix of both traditional Albanian & contemporary music.   In keeping with Albanian tradition, the groom lit a handkerchief on fire as he and his new bride danced hand in hand surrounded by loved ones! Congratulations Alma & Tony!
