After a spectacular marriage proposal in the Alps, Michelle and Tommaso vowed to return to Tommaso’s home country, Italy, for their elegant wedding.<\/p>\n

The pair, aged 29 and 32, solidified their commitment to one another in front of close family and friends at a traditional ceremony at Bergamo Cathedral, before taking to the cobblestone Italian streets for their wedding photos and the short trip to the newlyweds’ reception venue, Villa Canton.<\/p>\n

The historic building, surrounded by manicured gardens and endless magical photography settings, set the scene for a real-life fairy tale wedding. At the reception, guests from across the globe were treated to live music, delicious cuisine and a three-tiered cake lined with fresh berries.<\/p>\n

“Our wedding focused on food, music and loved ones,” says the groom. “It had a romantic and joyous atmosphere.”<\/p>\n
