A Week We Will Never Forget! 🤍
What an unforgettable week celebrating our daugter's wedding here at our venue.
The festivities started the week before when Katie and Lorenzo made the drive down from Conneticut, followed by our son flying in from Florida a few days later. Our home quickly filled with bridesmaids, laughter, late night memories, and of course Benny.... the sweetest ring bearer dog 🐾💍
We were blessed with incredible weather for the rehearsal dinner, allowing us to host it outside under the Texas sky with an italian themed evening featuring amazing food from Luigi's, surrounded by family and friends.
Then wedding day arrived.....and just about an hour before the ceremony, an unexpected Texas thunderstorm rolled through with hail, strong winds, and pouring rain. But just as guests began arriving, the skies cleared and the most beautiful rainbow appeared over the barn. A moment none of us will ever forget!
The evening was filled with so much love, joy, and a few Monaco family wedding traditions. We celebrated with a polish toast and the lively Italian Tarantella dance for the bride and groom, creating memories that will stay with us forever! While we gained a wonderful son-in-law in Lorenzo, we also gained an incredible extended family.
This venue has been the setting for so many beautiful celebrations over the years, but having our own daughter begin this next chapter of her life here made it event more meaningful and special to me and her father.💖
