\"Black-Tie-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>Karina and Jose met in high school, and were married on January 31, 2016 with an elegant, black and white wedding.<\/p>\n

Karina modeled a trumpet-cut wedding gown exploding with white tulle to match her hair-pinned veil, and a semi-sweetheart neckline. Her bouquet consisted of white hydrangeas and soft-pink roses. The three bridesmaids wore poised, black, floor length gowns, each with an elegant hairstyle of pinned, messy, updos. The groom and four groomsmen donned stark black, three-piece suits, each pinned with black, crisp bowties and blossoming roses on the lapel.<\/p>\n\"Black-Tie-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Many touching words rang out during this Sunday ceremony. Karina and Jose were advised with, \u201cMay you always need one another. Not to fill your emptiness, but to know your fullness,\u201d and, \u201cMay you find happiness in making one another happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

A plated dinner was arranged by Magic Touch Catering, and included Caesar salad, twice-baked potatoes, tortellini primavera, grilled chicken breast, and braised beef short ribs.<\/p>\n

A chic, three-tiered wedding cake featured beaded linings along the bottom of each tier of chocolate and almond-flavored cake. The bottom tier read \u201cII.XIV. MMXVI\u201d \u2013 their wedding date in roman numerals \u2013 topped by a crisscrossed lattice middle tier, and crowned with a \u201cKJ\u201d monogramed third tier.<\/p>\n\"Black-Tie-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Erica, the Maid of Honor and friend of Karina\u2019s for two decades, lamented in her toast how she\u2019s seen a beautiful, loyal, and mature love between the bride and groom. The Best Man, Juan, recounted a story from 14 years ago, when Karina was the new girl at school. Juan remembers \u201cJoey\u201d saying, \u201cHey, check out the new girl,\u201d meaning they were meant to be together.<\/p>\n

Karina and Jose\u2019s first dance was to \u201cDie A Happy Man\u201d by Thomas Rhett. The Father\/Daughter Dance was to \u201cI Loved Her First\u201d by Heartland, and the Mother\/Son Dance was to \u201cNever Alone\u201d by Jim Brickman.<\/p>\n\"Black-Tie-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

The new couple had a unique guestbook: a framed grid of white hearts where guests could sign their names in permanent marker across a blank heart. And much like those markers, Karina and Jose\u2019s new bond is sure to be a permanent one.<\/p>\n
