"Their "dreamy, extravagant, enchanting" wedding began with a procession through an indoor forest of trees lining the ceremony aisles. The affair was decorated in blush, and a wedding emblem-a redesign of Eleanor's family crest-appeared on the invitations, place cards, and more. Guests received traditional Italian bomboniere favors filled with Jordan almonds as an homage to Eleanor's grandmother, and the drink menus honored the bride and groom: For Eleanor, guests started with an Aperol spritz and capped the night with limoncello; for Benito, they began with a Negroni and ended with an amaro-for both, red wine in between."
"Two and a half years after a first date at a wine bar, lawyers Eleanor and Benito got engaged in the atrium of the University of Baltimore law school-where they'd spent so much time together and which Benito filled with orchids, Eleanor's favorite."
""It was so decadent," says Eleanor, "but it was the talk of the wedding!""
