Special Detail #1
From the bride: "Our first trip as a couple was to Italy and since then we always knew it would be so special to get married there!
We got married on the first day of summer
We found out we were pregnant with a baby girl a few days after our wedding while on our honey moon in Lake Como
For my something borrowed I included my grandmothers wedding song on our dinner playlist. I wanted to make sure she was still apart of my wedding day even though she could not make the travel to Italy!"
