Angela Adams & Steve Romano << Angela customized a Diana gown by Enzoani at Sorelle Bridal Salon for her big day. She topped off the lacy, ivory number with an embellished belt and a birdcage veil.
True love blooms when you have the right pair. For Angela Adams and Steve Romano, it started with the right pair of shoes! Encouraged by his coworker (and Angela’s former cheerleading coach), Steve stopped by Aldo to meet Angela while she was working. She wasn’t there, so he just bought a pair of shoes and left. It took three pairs of shoes before the timing was right, and the two found they were the perfect match! Sixteen months of dating and a sweet proposal later, the couple wed at the Inn on the Mexican War Streets with a reception at the Mattress Factory museum. “I tried to make everything very elegant but contemporary at the same time,” Angela says. The day was executed flawlessly, thanks in part to wedding coordinator Lindsey Seman. “Hire a legit, bleach wipe carrying, bobby pins in her pocket, knows how to get things done wedding coordinator.” Angela advises. “Having someone there to coordinate the day’s events and be the go-to person really takes away so much stress. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy!”
Nathalie Campanile & Samuel Bozzolla << The couple met when Nathalie had a fellowship from the Swiss government to work on transplant procedures at UPMC. Once a mutual friend introduced the two, they knew what they had was worth any travel obstacles!
After juggling an international courtship for seven years, Nathalie Campanile and Samuel Bozzolla felt blissful relief when they finally said, “I do!” Samuel says, “It was a long road for both of us, with her going back and forth to Switzerland so much. But, our wedding day was like the prize for making it through all of the struggles with traveling.” It was during one of those many trips to the airport that Samuel popped the question — right in the car! From then, they started coordinating plans for the big day from separate countries. It all came together with a ceremony at Heinz Chapel, followed by a celebration at a private residence in the North Hills. Laura Schoch of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens brightened the backyard reception with red, orange, blue, and violet blooms. The couple shared a sentimental first dance to “Some Enchanted Evening” from South Pacific, the song Samuel’s grandfather sang in the original Broadway production in the 1940s. “It was a beautiful day — and not a cloud in the sky,” Samuel says. “It was like the sunny end to our story.”
