Getting personal: “Our wedding ceremony was very personal,” says Rosa. “It was written and co-officiated by our friend, Julia Pileggi, and we also wrote our own wedding vows.”
So unique: Rosa says, “We hired a live sketch artist (Stephanie Anne Illustration) to create quick sketches of our guests as a take-away, which was a big hit! But the most unique part of all was that we were surprised with three live alpacas (as a llama substitute)!”
Wedding advice: Take inspiration from various sources, but make sure you create a wedding day that reflects who you are as a couple. Hire a wedding planner who understands your vision and your vibe.
Relax: Rosa says, “We were able to enjoy our day knowing we had a team of people who were on top of every single detail.”
