The wedding in Villa OLMI
The first look
The bride and their families stayed at the villa, allowing them to prepare on-site in a relaxed atmosphere. This made everyone feel more at ease, and they were able to organize the “first look” in the villa’s gardens—a private and intimate moment for the couple to reconnect before the ceremony.
No matter the couple, there is always a fascinating pattern—it unfolds in five distinct stages, unwavering and universal. First, the anticipation of the one waiting for the other. Then comes the discovery, the first glance exchanged. This is followed by an embrace and a kiss. Next, they take a step back to admire how beautiful the other looks. Finally, they hold each other once more, whispering their love—this is often the moment when tears begin to flow.
This is why they must be alone, without anyone else speaking to them. It is their moment, one that will remain forever engraved in their memory.
The ceremony
Their wedding ceremony took place in the late afternoon in the villa’s reception hall, an elegant and warm setting where every glance and every word resonated with emotion. On this special day, their hearts were filled with gratitude: to their families for the love and support that had shaped them, to their parents for the upbringing that led them to find their soulmate, and to their siblings for their unwavering presence. It was a moment of deep appreciation, shared in a city that has inspired the most beautiful love stories.
