"When Nada first met Beau, she says she could tell he was the life of the party, but also remembers thinking: "That guy is a lot." Beau was determined to meet Nada from the moment he spotted her. Fast-forward a year and a half and he arranged for her parents and siblings to fly across the country to celebrate with them over dinner-after he proposed on a walk through Spokane's Riverfront Park in Washington state."
"Put together in just six months, their late-summer wedding was designed to feel like a night in Italy (Nada's family owns the Italian Store gourmet shops in Arlington) and featured a yellow-and-green color scheme. A green Vespa and a blue three-wheeled Apé car, a few rustic touches, plus lemons and lemon trees galore helped set the scene. A cheese expert made fresh mozzarella during cocktail hour; dinner was all-Italian, from the antipasto platters and meatballs"
Nada could tell Beau was the life of the party and remembered thinking, "That guy is a lot." Beau pursued Nada, proposed during a walk through Spokane's Riverfront Park, and flew her parents and siblings cross-country to celebrate. The late-summer wedding, planned in six months, evoked a night in Italy tied to Nada's family's Italian Store shops. The yellow-and-green celebration included a green Vespa, a blue three-wheeled Apé car, rustic touches, and abundant lemons and lemon trees. A cheese expert made fresh mozzarella; dinner featured antipasto, meatballs, pastas, and the bride's family's pesto, followed by gelato, vanilla cake, and homemade Italian and Croatian cookies. Spokane guests clapped and sang to the family's hockey-team goal song, and a T-shirt toss energized the dance floor.
