He is the grandson of Ms. Anna Marie Marino of Dallas, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Joe Salvaggio of Payson, Ariz. and the late Mr. and Mrs. Lester David DeTrempe of Peoria, Ill. The bride’s vision of a traditional cathedral gown that could transcend the ocean backdrop came to life through the creation of a custom cou-
ture gown by iconic fashion designer Nardos Imam. Three panels of French lace extended past the train, creating not only a dramatic extension to the gown, but also a parallel to the lace featured in the bride’s cathedral-length veil of antique Belgian lace. The veil was a family heirloom first worn in 1942 by the bride’s cousin, again in 1983 by the bride’s mother, and most recently in 2013 by the bride’s sister. The bride carried a bouquet of white roses wrapped in a lace monogrammed handkerchief accentuated by a 14 karat gold scallop shell pendant. Carly also wore a navy blue Yale garter. The bride’s grandfather graduated from Yale University in 1954, and gave the garter to his intended, Carolyn Bekins (the bride’s grandmother and namesake), for her to wear on their wedding day. In addition to the bride’s grandmother, the bride’s mother and sister also wore the
