Within the rolling hills of Italy, Dominique and Garrett began their journey to perpetually amidst the charm of a city steeped in culture and history. Their wedding day was nothing in need of a fairytale, intertwining radiant romance with heartfelt memories they may cherish for a lifetime.

DOMINIQUE, TELL US ABOUT YOUR LOVE STORY!
Garrett and I initially met on Hinge, the dating app. He stood me up on our first date by accident, but he begged for a second likelihood and now we now have been together for five years! He proposed on Recent 12 months’s Eve with all my family around. He cried his eyes out; it was precious!
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE. HOW DID YOU WANT TO LOOK ON YOUR WEDDING DAY? TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS-SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
My wedding dress was the primary one I attempted. I knew I desired to look natural but bridal, and I wanted a dress that was equally stunning but in addition something I could wear all night. The town we got married in is hilly, so I also wanted it to be light and needed to simply move around in it. Once I first tried on my gown, I knew it was the one. I felt absolutely beautiful at our wedding and so comfortable and fun in the marriage dress!
TELL US ABOUT YOUR WEDDING. HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR WEDDING PERSONAL TO YOUR LOVE STORY?
We got married in Monforte d’Alba, which is a small town in Italy where my parents live. We held the rehearsal the night before at their house. Friends also hosted us at their winery for a wine tasting, as we were in a premier food and wine region. We asked all our guests to write down us notes for our 10- and 20-year anniversary that we sealed in the course of the ceremony with bottles of wines to age.
