Madison and Chris took a leap of faith. Just two months before their vacation in Italy, they decided to add a bit of romance with a symbolic ceremony on the beach, just the two of them. Since there wasn't enough time for a civil wedding abroad, they legally tied the knot on their way to the airport, which resulted in them almost missing the flight to Italy!

The day started at the hotel Buca di Bacco, one of the chicest places in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast, from where you can enjoy the incredible view of the hill of pastel-colored houses that descend towards the sea. Joanna Falanga's team created an elegant semi-loose hairstyle for the bride that was perfect for her off-shoulder dress.

Ravello Wedding Flowers created a jaw-dropping arrangement of roses, lisianthus, dahlias, and delphinium on the stone shoreline. The sunset light made the scene unreal and made the ancient watchtower of Fornillo shine like gold. The soothing sound of the waves was interrupted only by the sweet melody of guitar and violin. Madison and Chris exchanged their promise of love, guided by the celebrant, Marilena, from That's Amore.
