Tyler and Christina in the Grace Gown

Tyler and Christina celebrated their love with an intimate wedding weekend in the hills of Umbria, Italy, at a historic castle.

Returning to Where Love Began

Tyler and Christina’s love story began on St. Patrick’s Day. Introduced through a mutual friend at a university party, the connection was instant, effortless, and undeniable. Years later, on a walk through the same campus where it all began, Tyler got down on one knee. They ended the night celebrating at their old university pub, surrounded by friends from years past, raising a glass to the future ahead.

A Castle Wedding in the Hills of Italy

A wedding, to Tyler and Christina, was always about the people, the moments, and the memories shared together. With this in mind, they chose a destination that felt intimate, familiar, and rich in history: Forte Sorgnano, a castle located in the rolling hills of Umbria, Italy. With just under 50 guests, every face in the room was someone who had played a meaningful role in their lives. "We didn’t want to meet anyone new at our wedding," Christina shares. "We wanted to have a connection with everyone who was there.”

Guests stayed on-site, turning the wedding into a weekend-long experience in one of the most beautiful settings. From the first look to the moment their families met for the first time, the day was layered with emotion and personal details. It was everything they had hoped for and more.

Christina’s Dream Wedding Dress

Christina had already said ‘Yes to a dress when a second fitting stepped in. "I originally chose Clo, but when the Grace gown was brought out, I knew I had to try it on." The moment she did, there was no turning back. "I felt so confident. It fit perfectly with no alterations needed." Accompanied by her bridesmaids and maid of honour, she knew as soon as she put on the Grace gown, "It was my dress."
