“Beneath a cascade of over 700 cups of rose petals—gathered over 18 months by my grandmother and her community—our love story unfolded. We began the day with a private, family-only church ceremony, saving our first true glance for the moment I walked down the aisle. Later, in the golden light of a family friend’s winery, we exchanged handwritten vows before those dearest to us. Every element was touched by our hands: bespoke stationery, menus, and signs; table numbers carved from Italian limestone, gifted by a friend. In honor of my husband’s Italian heritage, we kept our cake but skipped a formal plated dessert, instead surprising guests with a local gelato cart—each scoop crowned with delicate, homemade pizzelles baked by me and his beloved nona. It was a celebration where elegance met intimacy, and every detail whispered of the people and places that shaped our hearts.”
