#italianmeetpaul [another scioscia family wedding!]

my beautiful baby sister is married!!! and truly, to the very best guy. i mean not to make this about me, okay, but my siblings getting married has really taken my life up a few notches! haha! i love my bonus siblings SO MUCH!

i stole a bunch of these photos from my mom’s phone, so thanks, mom!! i didn’t get to take as many little captures as i’d have liked since i was bouncing around my sweet baby boy all evening. he practically tried to officiate, he was feeling so chatty that evening! haha!

but! it was all just really perfect. even the rain was no problem at all… they just went out and took romantic pictures in it! they both glowed. and it was beautiful. an intimate farm wedding, just past the big barn. so them. so us. a tent, some closest people, wine, a good meal!

there were a lot of really meaningful details, too… christina wore my veil, our grandmother’s ring that i wore in my wedding, a pearl necklace she wore in my wedding, and had a heart stitched in her dress from the lace of my mom’s dress. maddalena wore an antique hair barrette from my mom’s side. luca wore my brother’s outfit from when he was a baby! the cake topper was from our grandparents’ wedding cake… and also, i just loved seeing christina get ready for her wedding in her very own childhood bedroom. sweetest, best thing ever.

rocco and maddalena performed their roles of ring bearer and flower girl flawlessly, of course! i can’t get enough of rocco’s faces and finger motions as he was walking down to stand with preston. and i’ll also just mention that he spent the rest of the evening wooing our friends’ precious baby girl, which was quite entertaining! such a charmer, that boy! and maddalena, well, you know she placed her flower petals as perfectly as a girl could… and looked like an actual angel in her pretty pink dress!

anyway, it all went by in a flash! and while my parents had a crazy amount of post-wedding cleanup to do, i did my part by eating a whole lot of leftover [incredibly delicious, worth every bite] cake. you’re welcome. 🙂

so… happy marriage, my lovely, wonderful humans!!! we love you both so much!!
