The Italian couple organized a small, intimate Central Park wedding. After a decade of love, they committed to each other forever under The Ladies\u2019 Pavilion against bright blue skies. The two brides wore exquisite, custom-tailored suits in navy and ocean blue. Following the ceremony, friends and family gathered for a picnic with champagne and cake.\u00a0 \u201cWe spent ten years getting to know and understand each other,\u201d the couple told us. \u201cDeciding to get married and be together forever was the most beautiful decision we could make.\u201d\u00a0 To honor the decision, they tattooed the New York City skyline and their wedding date on their arms.Chiara and Stefania hail from Geneva, Italy. For many of their guests, the Central Park wedding was their first trip to the United States. Of course, there was some \u201cemotional management\u201d of the family, but the couple tells Equally Wed this was normal. \u201cConviction and mutual love must prevail over everything,\u201d they said. Their New York wedding only strengthened the family bonds. \u201cIt was a dream come true for everyone. We have met a lot of respect from our friends and family. It was a truly emotional ceremony.\u201dTo other LGBTQ+ couples, Stefania and Chiara advise: \u201cDo this with conviction and respect, because values have to be real deep! We suggest that couples marry when the relationship is really strong. No one can know what the future will be like. We have to be convinced that we will do everything to overcome the difficulties of life together.”SEARCH FOR LGBTQ+ INCLUSIVE WEDDING VENDORSVENDORSPhotographer: Fotovolida\u00a0Wedding Ceremony Venue\u00a0 The Ladies Pavilion, Central Park, New York CityWedding Reception Venue: Cherry Hill, Central Park, New York CityFlorist: Artsy Flora\u00a0Planner: Christa DeHuff with A Central Park WeddingCatering Company: Perfect PicnicCake Designer Company: Junior’s\u00a0Officiant: Francesca Manisco\u00a0Submit your LGBTQ+ wedding or engagement for editorial consideration."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Chiara + Stefania: Italian couple celebrates a Central Park wedding after a decade together","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/chiara-stefania-italian-couple-celebrates-a-central-park-wedding-after-a-decade-together\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
