day 4: the wedding

The wedding day! After getting all dolled up at our hotel, we set out for the wedding ceremony at Santa Sabina.

The church is on top of one of Rome's hills, so there are amazing views from a park that neighbors the church. In true Italian fashion, the ceremony was a little late to start, so we had some time to take photos of the skyline. Kurt's zoom lens got some great shots of Saint Peter's.

Gorgeous bride!

Unfortunately, a lot of the groom's American friends weren't able to make the journey to Italy, but we were happy to represent and support Scott on his big day.

The reception was held at a hilltop venue outside of Rome in a small town. The views back to the city were gorgeous.

The food! Oh, those Italians know how to eat.

All of the bride's Italian friends were the sweetest. Towards the end of the evening, they all gathered together with a guitar and serenaded the couple. 

You know it's a good party when Kurt swipes a bottle of prosecco :) We had a blast!
