A Romantic Wedding in Italy

Breana and Marshall’s love story is the kind that feels effortless. They had known each other since high school through a mutual friend, but years later, one night in their hometown, their paths crossed again.

After eight and a half years together, their relationship was built on comfort, trust, and certainty. They both knew early on that they had found their person.

Marshall planned a thoughtful proposal in Napa, telling Breana they were meeting his family for a weekend of wine tasting. Instead, she arrived to find a quiet winery, a bouquet of flowers, and a romantic picnic for two. After she said yes, they celebrated with family and friends waiting nearby.

For their wedding, Breana and Marshall chose Florence, Italy. Set at the stunning Villa Cora, their destination wedding was filled with beauty, history, and heartfelt details. More than anything, they wanted their guests to feel welcomed and celebrated. From welcome bags to after-party wellness kits, every touch was created with love.

The day itself felt full in the best way. The couple remembers it as a beautiful blur, filled with laughter, emotion, and the joy of watching everyone they love have the time of their lives.

Their advice to future couples is simple: do not stress the small details. Focus on the experience, take a few moments alone together, and let yourself enjoy the day fully.

After the wedding, Breana and Marshall spent two weeks in Paris, enjoying slow mornings, croissants, bookstores, and day trips to London and Luxembourg.

Now, they are looking forward to slowing down, returning home, and beginning this next chapter together.
