Elizabeth wanted to maintain a relaxed approach to her wedding wardrobe but struggled to find something that felt like her. She avoided store visits due to her dislike for fittings, but after being shown a photo of a Danielle Frankel dress by a friend, she knew she needed that dress. With the help of a friend reaching out to the designer, Zoom fittings were done to ensure the perfect fit. Elizabeth opted for minimal hair and makeup to avoid feeling like she was in a costume or going to a premiere, but she had talented artists on the Amalfi Coast who made her feel amazing on her big day. She wore earrings gifted by friends and a ribbon given by the designer for a ’90s-inspired look.

The intimate ceremony took place at Hotel Caruso’s Wagner Garden overlooking the Amalfi Coast with only three guests, Megan, Nico, and Sarah, and Holland officiating. Two musicians played at the ceremony, performing an arrangement of “Oh Baby” by LCD Soundsystem as the couple had their impromptu first dance at the end of the aisle. Elizabeth felt a profound change after saying her vows, describing it as the most intense experience that changed everything. She was trying not to cry except when laughing during the emotional ceremony.

After the service, the small group enjoyed an aperitivo and dinner under olive trees, drinking Champagne and giving toasts. Their first dance was to an arrangement of Caetano Veloso’s ‘Cucurrucucu Paloma’ prepared by the musicians. Elizabeth expressed how lucky she felt and how she wanted to relive the special day again. The whole experience was described as intensely emotional, with the vows marking a significant turning point in the couple’s relationship.

Elizabeth’s wardrobe choices, minimal hair and makeup, and the intimate ceremony setting contributed to a personal and authentic feel for the wedding. The involvement of close friends, such as the musicians and the friends who gifted her jewelry, added to the special moments of the day. The couple’s impromptu first dance and the emotional exchange of vows created lasting memories that Elizabeth treasures. Despite the small guest list and simple decor, the wedding was described as one of the happiest moments in Elizabeth’s life, leaving her feeling incredibly lucky and grateful.

The couple’s decision to keep the wedding small and personal allowed for a deep emotional connection during the ceremony and celebration. The unique touches, such as the makeshift first dance and the special jewelry gifted by friends, added sentimental value to the day. The couple’s decision to focus on the emotional significance of the vows and the presence of loved ones rather than on extravagant details or grand gestures highlights the importance of authenticity and intimate connections in celebrating love and commitment. Elizabeth expressed a desire to relive the day, showcasing the profound impact the wedding had on her and emphasizing the enduring memories created during the special occasion.
