A Fairytale Destination Wedding on the Amalfi Coast of Italy

In the fall of 2020, Kaila and Marcus met on a dating app while Kaila was overseas working as an international flight attendant. “Our only way of communication was talking via phone every day for about a month. We met physically at a park on October 14^th, 2020, and knew spiritually that this union was directed by God.”

On July 7^th, 2021, Marcus led Kaila back to the same park where he first laid eyes on her and stated that he’s “never taking his eyes off” as he asked for her hand in marriage. They had a stunning destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Get inspired by the breathtaking views from their big day planned by Cristiana Beltramello, CEO and destination wedding planner of Package Wedding in Italy, and captured by ManiSol.

Details: The wedding/honeymoon destination was important to us because it’s a location neither of us have been to but always wanted to go. We were thrilled that we were able to experience some of these places with family before and after the wedding along with some alone time.

Briefly tell us about your wedding experience and how the both of you felt on your big day. Our wedding experience was a total dream, and our planner Cristiana Beltramello was truly amazing. We felt at peace and were treated like royalty. There was nothing to do but relax, be catered to and directed on where to go next. Everything was so thoughtfully planned out that all we had to do was simply live in love.

Wedding song, and the significance of the song: All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo. The significance of the song is the importance of the lyrics and how it relates to how we prayed for each other’s love.

What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? Seeing where God leads us and the blessings that follow. Supporting one another’s goals and dreams, adding to our family, and building our legacy.
