Arina Prisinzano

Our #GLBride of the Week is the gorgeous Arina Prisinzano, who married her best friend and love of her life in our Rhiannon gown. Surrounded by close friends and family, the two exchanged vows in the south of Italy at the breathtaking Masseria Potenti Hotel. In the following interview, Arina shares with us a behind-the-scenes look of her destination wedding, and the moment she knew our Rhiannon gown was the perfect dress for her.

"I honestly think it is the perfect wedding dress."

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.

Frank and I met at his restaurant, here in the East Village of New York City. We sat at the bar at Lil Frankie’s talking from 10 pm until 4 in the morning. I went home buzzing from our incredible conversation and chemistry and good vibes. We said we would try to be friends, nothing serious. We said I love yous after a week, moved in after three months, got married after five years, and of course, we are seriously the best of friends.

How did you find your perfect dress?

I saw the picture on your website. I saw you guys sold at Bridal Reflections a short subway ride away from me. I showed up by myself, specifically asked for the Rhiannon dress, and knew I’d wear it on my wedding day. I honestly think it is the perfect wedding dress and I’ve never in my life seen a dress more beautiful.

What advice would you give to all our future brides?

At the end of the day, your wedding is just a party. For many people, your wedding will be just “another” party. The way to ensure that your wedding isn’t just a party and is instead one of the most memorable or incredible experiences in your life is to invest in the people that show up for you, love and praise them, and have a good time with them. For those who don’t want a part of your journey, wish them well, and let them go.

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?

If I had to choose just one moment, it would be when Frank and I were brought upstairs to watch the fireworks together. I really couldn’t believe my life at that moment. How blessed I was to have Frank, to have my family, and my beautiful friends. I was exploding inside while the fireworks were exploding outside.
