The Reception

The cocktail hour unfolded inside a beautiful circular room with floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a boxwood garden. Though throughout the evening family and friends wandered from the dance floor onto the patio or into the gardens, there was one more thing guests were sure not to miss: the toasts. Giuseppe's father, who makes his own wine, bottled enough so that guests could forgo traditional champagne in lieu of sipping something molto bene and homemade.
