“We met well over 20 years ago through mutual friends,” says Jane. “We lost touch and ran into each after 10 years at the Stone House in Stirling. From that day forward we were inseparable.”
“He took me to the Barnegat Lighthouse in LBI on his boat and proposed,” says Jane.
“We had a black-tie wedding and wanted everything to be very clean and classy,” says Jane. “Black gowns for bridesmaids and black tuxes for groomsmen completed the look. All of the flowers were white with crystals and candles throughout the venue.”
“From the moment we walked into Westmount we were treated like royalty,” says Jane. “They catered to us and we knew that they would be this great on our wedding day. Plus we both come from big Italian families so the food sold us! Not only was it amazing and delicious but the abundance and variety was out of this world.”
The salad was a fresh Italian burrata with baby arugula, heirloom tomato, balsamic and extra virgin olive oil. For dinner options, there was roasted prime rib served off the bone in natural juices, chicken rollatini with prosciutto di parma, fresh mozzarella and marsala wine-mushroom sauce, or jumbo gulf shrimp sauteed in white wine, lemon, butter and a risotto Milanese. They also had a  julienne vegetable risotto primavera. “Our dessert was wedding cake and a dessert tower Viennese with cigars and cognac!” says Jane.
“My gown was beaded and trumpet style,” says Jane. “Once I put it on I felt so beautiful in it, I knew it was the one when I cried and look in the mirror and felt so confident.”
“I think I have more than one!” says Jane. “We were married in the middle of Covid, so at our wedding we did a ring blessing, which was so beautiful and memorable. I feel like it just added more to our love story. I also have three stepdaughters whom I adore; I read them a letter and presented them with rings at our ceremony.”
“My wedding planner,” says Jane. “I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Lauren! She kept the day running smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”
“Enjoy the day, take it all in! It goes by so fast!” says Jane
“We haven’t had it due to Covid,” says Jane, “but we are going to Italy, the Amalfi Coast and Positano! We did enjoy a mini honeymoon at the Boca Resort and Beach Club in Boca Raton Florida.”
