In the adjoining suite where Meghan wore her wedding dress, Meghan and Math met and hugged each other before reaching the rest of the guests at the Church of Annunziata in the centre of Positano. In this Church, Meghan and Matt, in the presence of witnesses, family members and friends made their vows before being declared Husband and Wife.




After leaving the Church and walking through busy streets of Positano that lead from the centre to the port, we boarded the boat that took us back to Villa Tre Ville, for refreshments and dinner.


The aperitif was served in the wonderful rooms of the Salone Bianca, located in the centre of the villa, a masterpiece of design by Renxo Mongiardino, in pure "Positano" style. The Salone is characterized by the white of the Scotto ceramics and the elements of Syrian mother-of-pearl furnishings- precious souvenirs of the occupation the master Zeffirelli. The hall overlooks one of the most beautiful terraces of the entire coast, a real Moroccan style sanctuary with soft sofas, soft lights, swaying veils and a view that never fails to leave the visitor spellbound. After the aperitif we went onto the terrace that housed two imperial tables, impeccably set up by The Amalfi Experience and Armando Malafronte, who oversaw the entire event with his the wonderful floral decorations.



The tables dominated the shade of white, with elegantly customized menus and small dark brown ceramic heads, very original and refined placeholders, also personalized with the name of each guest. The white was broken by the gold of the tall chandeliers and the red of the roses that added spikes of colour to the floral cords placed at the centre of the table.





A romantic dinner was served in the warmth of the September evening, interspersed with affectionate speeches wishing Meghan and Matthew all the very best in the future. To conclude the evening there was a dance party that brought all the guests into the action....
