Overview
- The couple were married in a traditional Catholic ceremony at The Vintage House in Portugal’s Douro Valley on Saturday, Aug. 1, followed by a reception with Portuguese-inspired dishes and local wines.
- Guests attended a multi-day itinerary that included a welcome boat party on the Douro River, leisure activities at nearby wineries and a farewell brunch to close the weekend.
- The wedding used noted vendors and designers, including planner JoAnn Gregoli, bride Stacie Hiras of White House Bride, groom’s suit by Michael Andrews Bespoke and a Leigh Price gown for Dolores Catania.
- Personal touches shaped the reception, with the newlyweds dancing their first dance to Bruno Mars’ “Risk It All,” a DJ spinning early 2000s hits and a projector showing scenes from Miami Vice.
- Dolores Catania shared photos on Instagram and drew mixed social-media reaction after her pale-blue mother-of-the-groom dress photographed nearly white, and no separate U.S. reception has been confirmed yet.
