A reception dinner followed, complemented by the stunning view of the sun setting behind the majestic mountains of Sicily, creating an unforgettable memory in the hearts of all those who witnessed it.

Krisela and Jason share a deep love that is rooted in valuing the importance of family and friendships. On their wedding day, they celebrated the unwavering support and love they received from their loved ones, including Krisela's sister, who has always been her closest confidante, and Jason's brother, Jamie. It was a happy occasion filled with joy and gratitude for the people who mean the most to the couple.
