Alyssa and Brian are married! These two are seriously meant for each other and their Fonthill Castle wedding day was one I’ll remember forever. Alyssa and Brian actually met at a hidden speakeasy in Pittsburgh and began bonding over their love of the outdoors, tasting menus, and spontaneous adventures. The two got engaged around their 4 year anniversary on a trip Brian planned to surprise Alyssa in the Dominican Republic! While sailing around their resort, Brian popped the question (and even thought to tie the ring to the box with fishing line so it didn’t disappear!). Obviously Alyssa said yes and they began planning their gorgeous wedding day!

A Fonthill Castle Wedding Day

I can’t even begin to explain how beautiful Alyssa and Brian’s wedding day was! It was so hard to narrow down the photos for this post, so brace yourself, there’s a lot of (gorgeous) photos coming your way! Alyssa and Brian really wanted their wedding day to feel like everyone was in the middle of a garden. And, with the florals and greenery everywhere, they definitely succeeded! They created a truly beautiful and magical day, thanks to the help of their amazing vendor team!

Given that these two LOVE being spontaneous with each other, it won’t come as any surprise that their wedding day included some unexpected moments. Probably my favorite moment was when Alyssa and Brian met for their first look. Alyssa had on a dinosaur mask and Brian had no idea. It was hilarious!!!! I also loved that they included their dog, Duck, in the wedding. He got to wear the cutest little tux! Of course, there were also so many beautiful and emotional moments that took place throughout the day!

Classic Wedding Inspiration

Their planner, Andi, made the most stunning champagne wall for their guests. I’ve never seen anything like it and it was absolutely gorgeous!! It really set the tone for their romantic ceremony. After they officially tied the knot, we headed into their reception where Alyssa and Brian surprised all of us with a choreographed first dance. Those are always extra beautiful!!

Alyssa and Brian have a true, beautiful love for each other. And after spending the day with their family and friends, it’s clear they are also deeply loved by those around them. One of Brian’s friends even flew in from Norway to celebrate! The newlyweds partied the night away with their guests and enjoyed the start of married life. Congratulations Alyssa and Brian! Your wedding day was seriously amazing!!!
