A Cefalù Homecoming

Amy grew up with Cefalù in her blood — it was never really a question of where she'd marry Rick. They picked a gloriously off-season date, February, and kept it small: a microwedding for their closest people, heavy on fashion and detail.

It began the night before with a welcome at the villa — a private dinner we catered ourselves. The next day: getting ready in the villa, then a first look in the early afternoon on the Cefalù pier, the old town and the sea behind them.

Ceremony and dinner followed at Villa dei Melograni, just family and the dearest friends. A live band played — until the groom jumped up to join them — and the party ran late and loose. Small in numbers, enormous in joy.
