Autumn Nuptials at Villa Cimbrone’s Cliffside Sanctuary in Ravello, Italy

In a heartwarming culmination of love and history, Grant proposed to Brittany at a very special restaurant, Mediterranean Exploration Company in Portland, where the couple had shared their inaugural meal together three years prior. Grant, enamored by Brittany's big green eyes and unique colloquialisms, expressed his overwhelming joy at becoming her supportive husband. In return, Brittany cherishes Grant's bravery and ambition, finding excitement in their shared adventures, from strolls through neighborhoods with their beloved Labrador Gunnar to exploring vibrant bazaars across the globe, appreciating both his good-spirited nature and his role as her trusted "Feekonomist" for all matters related to monetary policy.

The culinary journey at this elegant affair, expertly curated by Il Flauto di Pan, Villa Cimbrone's One-Michelin Star restaurant, began with a sophisticated cocktail hour at the Belvedere Terrace. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Gulf of Salerno, guests indulged in the finest fresh Mediterranean seafood canapés, accompanied by the dulcet tones of live music.

In the embrace of autumnal splendor at Villa Cimbrone, the wedding exuded opulence through its floral tapestry. The outdoor asile was adorned with an array of lush peonies, ranunculus, dahlias, and foxglove, creating a breathtaking path to a massive floral archway that seamlessly merged nature with the ceremony's grandeur. The bride, an embodiment of timeless grace, clutched a compact bouquet of ivory peonies, a delicate and refined accent that mirrored the richness of the season.

The wedding cake, modern a three-tiered creation, held a whimsical touch as a hidden figurine of the couple's black lab, Gunnar, graced the backside, indulging in the sweet celebration alongside the newlyweds.
