"She walked in, and I noticed her right away," affirms the groom of the first moment he saw Brit at a bar in New York City.
Inside Weddings
We both knew that we wanted a destination wedding. Lake Como was one of the most beautiful places I'd ever seen - everywhere I looked was like a postcard.
Brit
I was never the girl who dreamed of her wedding, but when we saw Villa Balbiano both Mike and I knew right away they it was the place for us. I ended up feeling that if I’m gonna do it, I want to really go for it!
Brit
The September sun created a glimmer along the lake as our loved ones found their seats on the lawn of an exquisite 16th century palazzo, facing the breathtaking mountains that gracefully meet the clear blue water.
Inside Weddings
I wanted it to look like A Midsummer Night's Dream - magical and very colorful.
Brit
Everybody was dancing from the moment they walked in.
Mike
Brit and her father stunned onlookers when they got on a stage to perform a duet of "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from A Star is Born.
Inside Weddings
The fireworks over the lake kept the energy high, going into the after-party that went well into the night. No one wanted to leave!
Mike
We’re honored to have Brit & Mike's wedding be the cover story in Inside Weddings magazine!
