Amber and Brandon: From High School Sweethearts to Mr. and Mrs.
Amber and Brandon first met in a high school math class, where it soon became clear that the two of them added up to romance. And back in March, these sweethearts officially became husband and wife in a gorgeous maroon and pink wedding ceremony here at the Villa!
The couple tied the knot outside in our Plaza Toscana, which was decorated with white chairs draped in maroon ribbons, a white aisle runner sprinkled with pink flower petals, and several gorgeous arrangements of red, pink, and ivory roses. The wedding party was dressed in shades of romantic pink as well; the bridesmaids wore long gowns in champagne pink, while the groomsmen wore black suits with maroon ties.
The bride and groom looked elegant and ultra classy. Brandon wore a simple black suit with a sleek white tie, while Amber wowed in her off-the-shoulder, A-line dress. The gown has a deep-v neckline and a gorgeous sheer bodice covered in lacy floral appliques. Her hair was curled lightly and gracefully falling around her face. And most importantly, Amber and her groom just COULDN’T STOP SMILING!
Amber and Brandon asked their guests for an unplugged ceremony, which allowed guests to better engage with their special day. The officiant shared stories of the big moments in the couple’s love story before asking them to exchange vows and rings. Before long, it was time for Brandon to kiss his bride and for the world to meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Maggiano (yay!).
After the ceremony, guests moved inside for dinner and dancing. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal of caesar salad, caprese chicken with mozzarella, grilled artichoke hearts and balsamic glaze, steamed veggies, and sun-dried tomato ravioli. Guests could also choose from two signature cocktails — the “Married Mixer” and “Mrs. Margarita”
Everyone spent the evening laughing, dancing, and celebrating the love that Amber and Brandon share. It was clear that these two had a wonderful wedding day, and we know they will remember this day fondly for the rest of their lives.
