December 21, 2024 // Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Reception at Crown Hall

Sofia and Anthony’s wedding was a celebration of love, family and the shared connections that brought them together. Sofia was born and raised in Mobile after her family moved to the Port City from New Orleans. Anthony is from Slidell, Louisiana. The couple met in Mobile at the beach volleyball courts at the Pier House on the Causeway and they now coach volleyball together, a detail that was honored in the groom’s cake. After the wedding Mass at the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, The Excelsior Band led the newlyweds and their guests in a second line to Crown Hall for the reception. There, the couple honored their Italian families with an Italian-themed menu. Traditional Christmas colors were woven through the florals and decorations, and Santa appeared to bring guests ornament party favors engraved with the couple’s names and wedding date. A sparkler exit drew the celebrations to a close.
