Gia was one of those brides whose energy, enthusiasm and smiles were contagious throughout her wedding day April 19, 2014. The couple came together to celebrate their wedding at Villa Siena. For the ceremony and reception, Gia wore a strapless gown with fitted lace bodice, beaded belt and a ruffled skirt. In back, the ruffles twirled together like the white roses of her bridal bouquet. By her side were her bridesmaids in cream colored gowns with a single should strap. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bride\u2019s bouquet. The bride\u2019s shoes were silver with bows encrusted in crystals.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Ciliento_Strachan_Brushfire_Photography_Strachan035_low.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Ciliento_Strachan_Brushfire_Photography_Strachan035_low.jpg\" alt=\"Ciliento_Strachan_Brushfire_Photography_Strachan035_low\" width=\"374\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Brett wore a classic black tuxedo with bowtie.
