What we would have given to be a shiny light on the wall during that epic holiday proposal. After that, their destination wedding planning in the Holy City took off and the couple invited guests to partake in a ceremony which included the greek Stefani wedding crown ritual (see the pics, it is really neat!), a cocktail hour overlooking the river, and a romantic tented reception complete with moody black tapered candles in over 120 brass candlesticks that Kelly and co. had accumulated over the years. Gosh, how we love a personal touch. And to top off an already incredible night, the newlyweds made their departure after surprising partygoers with a dazzling fireworks display. And to that we say, “Opa!”
