From High School Lovebirds to Mr. and Mrs. Bates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a couple has been together for over a\ndecade, you know that their wedding is sure to be one big <\/em>ceremony. So\nwhen Sasha and Clayton (who have been dating for 14 years) celebrated their big\nday at the Villa, we envisioned heartfelt speeches, lots of laughter, and\ngorgeous decor and fashion \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what they got!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple was wed outdoors in our Piazza\nToscana. The couple decorated the aisle and fireplace\/altar with beautiful\ngreenery and candles in gold vases, which reflected the wedding\u2019s sweet,\ntraditional style, using greenery and white and pink roses for a romantic\natmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bridal party also looked rather elegant: the\nbridesmaids wore long gowns in dusty pink; the groomsmen wore navy blue suits\n(with a precious ring bearer dressed to match); and the two flower girls made\neveryone coo over their cute, poufy white dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no one looked quite as astonishing as\nthe bride and groom! Clayton\u2019s navy three-piece suit and white boutonniere\nlooked classy and sophisticated, and Sasha\u2019s Tres di Santo gown was absolutely\nbreathtaking! The dress featured a sheer lace bodice with a long row of buttons\ndown the see-through back. The skirt flared at the feet into a long, rounded\ntrain, and her cathedral veil added an extra sense of drama to the look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The wedding was a traditional Persian ceremony\nwith a few personalized touches to make the day extra special. Clayton\u2019s uncle\nofficiated the ceremony and the couple wrote touching vows to one another that\nmade nearly everyone tear up! And after saying \u201cI do\u201d and kissing the bride,\nguests moved indoors for dinner and dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the reception, guests heard speeches from\nthe best man, maid of honor, and Sasha\u2019s father as they dined on green salad\nwith vinegarette, grilled chicken, beef tenderloin, baked potato with bacon,\nand vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The couple shared their first dance as husband and wife and danced with their respective parents; Clayton and his mother danced to \u201cI Believe in You\u201d by Don Williams, while Sasha and her father danced to Carrie Underwood\u2019s \u201cThe Girl You Think I Am,\u201d and performed a traditional Persian dance. Then the party truly started, with everyone hitting the dancefloor (with a brief interlude for some vanilla-flavored cake). The evening ended with a sparkler exit \u2014 perfectly befitting this vibrant, lovely couple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
