Alana & Ryan
Masseria Borgo Ritella, Puglia
Alana and Ryan’s wedding at Masseria Borgo Ritella was nothing short of magical – a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments in the heart of Puglia. With the breathtaking Valley of Itria as their backdrop, they brought together their closest friends and family for a day that was as heartfelt as it was wildly fun.
The day began with a deeply emotional first look, set against the rolling hills and olive groves of the valley. As Ryan turned to see Alana for the first time in her stunning gown, the moment was pure magic – tears, smiles, and an overwhelming sense of excitement for the day ahead.
Then came the ceremony – one that perfectly reflected their personalities: warm, emotional, and full of joy. But in true Alana and Ryan fashion, tradition took a back seat to fun. Instead of a solemn processional, everyone entered the ceremony dancing – from the celebrant and groom to the bridesmaids and, finally, the bride herself, twirling down the aisle to cheers and laughter. The ceremony itself was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with personal vows, inside jokes, and stories that had everyone switching between happy tears and uncontrollable laughter.
After the I do’s, guests were treated to a spectacular aperitivo, where Puglia’s finest delicacies were on display. The couple’s love for their furry friends was even woven into the drinks menu – personalized cocktails named after their beloved cats, adding an extra touch of charm to the evening.
As the sun set, the celebration only got wilder. A lavish dinner under the stars featured delicious Italian cuisine, heartfelt toasts, and an atmosphere buzzing with love. When the speeches began, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house – beautiful tributes from friends and family were met with bursts of laughter and tears.
Then came the party. A phenomenal British band Gatsby’s set the stage on fire, ensuring that no one stayed seated for long. From the first song to the last, the dance floor was electric, with guests letting loose and celebrating deep into the night. Alana and Ryan led the way, proving that their wedding wasn’t just a ceremony – it was the ultimate party of a lifetime.
With the perfect mix of romance, humor, and non-stop fun, their wedding at Masseria Borgo Ritella was everything they had dreamed of and more – a day bursting with love, joy, and memories that will last forever.
