\"Gold-Winter-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Diana made Don\u2019s graduation cap, which was all gold. She spent a lot of time on it and that gesture of love carried through with the couple marrying December 18, 2015. The ceremony was celebrated as an \u2018unplugged\u2019 ceremony where they asked all guests to turn off cell phones, put away cameras and simply be fully present for the entire day.<\/p>\n

Guests traveled from around the world to celebrate with Diana and Don. On the guest welcome table were pictures of the couple\u2019s parents. There was a scrapbook for the bride and groom and a photo booth for guests to capture a memorable moment or two.<\/p>\n\"Gold-Winter-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Diana\u2019s dress came from Allure bridal. The gown had a beaded bodice and full skirt. Over the dress she wore a shawl for the ceremony and a pink faux fur jacket afterwards.\u00a0 She carried a bouquet of brooches made by her sister.\u00a0 Her bridesmaids wore pale pink gowns from David\u2019s Bridal. Don was dressed in a black tuxedo with piping and a black vest and tie and white shirt. The groomsmen were all in black tuxedos with white shirts and ties. The wedding epitomized the love the couple shares with others with 9 bridesmaids and groomsmen.<\/p>\n

A mariachi band played during the processional, recessional and cocktail hour. The ceremony included a moment of silence for the couple\u2019s grandparents who had passed away and an empty seat with a lit candle \u2018in memory of those who cannot be here today.\u2019<\/p>\n\"Gold-Winter-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Don\u2019s Aunt said grace and gave the blessing for dinner. The wedding cake had white buttercream frosting with piping on the cake. During speeches the brother of the groom described Diana and Don as an eagle and the sky. Diana\u2019s sister offered words of wisdom from Bob Marley.<\/p>\n

The couple played the newlywed game at the reception. On the wall the couple\u2019s name and initial with the newlywed\u2019s family crest shone brightly.<\/p>\n\"Gold-Winter-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Favors were boxes of candy and monogrammed goblets for the wedding party.<\/p>\n

The night ended with a signature sparkler farewell. Congratulations Diana and Don. May that first spark of love remind you of the possibilities and joy true love brings. We wish you the best.<\/p>\n
