Dreaming of a romantic beach ceremony in Sicily? Jess and Simon's wedding is living proof that love knows no borders. From Perth to Belfast, their journey brought them to the stunning Sicilian coast of Capo d'Orlando to celebrate their love in a unique destination wedding filled with emotion, tradition, and beauty.

The Call of Sicily

This is the Sicily of the ancestors, rich in stories and charm. Jess's great-grandfather left the island decades ago, seeking fortune in Australia. Perhaps it was the stories passed down through generations that inspired Jess to reconnect with her roots. Or maybe, deep down, Sicily had always been calling her home. What’s certain is that she chose to say “I do” right here, on this magical island.

An Intimate Beach Ceremony

The wedding took place in early September at Lido del Sole, a charming seaside venue. The sun and the sea wind framed an intimate beach ceremony, where the sound of waves became the perfect soundtrack to their vows. Surrounded by close friends and family, Jess and Simon exchanged promises with bare feet in the sand and love in their eyes.

Unexpected Rain & Sicilian Hospitality

After a joyful aperitif by the sea, a sudden rain shower added a touch of spontaneity. No panic – just laughter and umbrellas! The celebration continued in the cozy wine cellar of Antica Filanda, located in the charming town of Rocca di Capri Leone. There, Sicilian folk music, excellent local food, and the warm spirit of the island turned the night into a joyful, unforgettable party.

A Destination Wedding to Remember

This beach ceremony in Sicily is more than a wedding – it’s a tribute to love that crosses oceans, to stories that travel through time, and to the beauty of saying yes with salt on your skin and sun in your heart.
