It wasn’t until two years later after they mingled briefly in groups and Gabriella graduated high school that they finally went out on their first date. The moment she returned home, Gabriella expressed to her mother that Luigi was “the one.” From that day on—nine years to be exact—they never looked back. The Ceremony | Since both Gabriella and Luigi come from Catholic families, it was important that they got married in a Catholic church. Keeping with tradition, the couple opted for the full ceremony, which included two readings by their closest family members, the gospel and communion. Gabriella looked radiant in her custom gown by Valencienne Bridal.
