PEN·LIV Real Bride: Nina + John

Prepare to fall in love with PEN·LIV Real Bride Nina's traditional and romantic wedding day! This gorgeous couple tied the knot in March 2024 in their dreamy church ceremony.

Nina took our breath away in the ARLEIGH gown, and really made it her own with her glam tiara and sweet veil.

The Love Story

"John and I met at Xfinity Live in South Philadelphia. We kept staring at each other from across the bar and we couldn't stop! He finally got the guts to come over to me, and we realized we had several mutual friends from the city. We also realized that we both went to Temple University. Our first kiss was electric! He was a jokester, but I was able to keep up with him! I soon got to see his softer, more loving side and his undying love for his family. We both come from Italian families, and when we met each other's families for the first time, it just felt so right! We spent seven  years together before John popped the question at the New Year's Day parade in front of City Hall! We DJ for a New Year's Brigade, 'The Jacks.' Our engagement was on the news! And The Jacks won first place!!! Such a special day. Fourteen months later, we made the easiest decision of our lives in our beautiful parish Church St. Monica's to say, 'I DO!'"
