Angelina and Krista’s glamorous luxury lesbian wedding took place at the renowned Versace mansion. From the 24-karat gold-dusted Medusa dessert to the gold-leaf swimming pool, this wedding was truly a gift of beauty and opulence. After a two-year engagement (Krista proposed!) and a bach party, the couple, who resides in Rochester, New York, had their destination wedding in Miami Beach, Florida.
Their opulent nuptials took place under an air-conditioned clear tent with a gorgeous flower arch for their ceremony backdrop. Krista’s father walked Angelina down the aisle and then Krista walked herself down the aisle. The bridesmaids and maid of honor wore mauve gowns and flower crowns, while the groomsmen and best man sported black tuxedos. At the reception, the brides dined at a sweetheart table with gold chairs. During their reception, Angelina sang with the band, and then a set of synchronized swimmers entertained the guests from a pool. The pool that Angelina and Krista later entered wearing their full wedding garb for a stunning portrait.
