Staci and Adam chose an Italian theme for their wedding, in honor of their engagement story and the bride’s love of all things Italy. The Bride Staci Guy The Groom Adam Bliss The Date August 7 Staci met Adam while she was working as a nanny and waiting to get licensed in Colorado as a physician assistant. A mom she’d met through a playgroup offered to set her up with her nephew, Adam, now a 34-year-old equity analyst. The two hit it off and later took a much-anticipated trip to Italy. Both had major butterflies, as Staci, now 31 and a physician assistant, pretty much knew what was going to happen. After dinner one night in Asolo, Adam suggested a walk along a path they’d taken earlier. As he paused and turned to her, she could hardly believe it, but...yes, it was really happening. And of course she said yes.

Staci and Adam's guests had a choice between white chocolate strawberry or double chocolate truffle cake and chocolate covered strawberries.
Colorful centerpieces overflowing with flowers and fresh fruit matched the different bridesmaid dresses.
Following the Italian-influenced feast, Staci and Adam opened up the dance floor for a party that kept rocking well into the night.
Adam wore a black suit from Joseph & Feiss, while his seven attendants wore single breasted, two-button, notch lapel tuxedos by Kenneth Cole.
The Bridesmaid Bouquets
When the various-colored bridesmaid dresses were paired with the monochromatic, deeply textured bouquets (each customized to match the gowns and hand-tied with extra fabric from each) they made a vivid statement.
