Catherine and Nick's Wedding

As a commercial airline pilot, groom Nick is quite accustomed to spending time up in the clouds.  The couple make California their home, but the bride's roots are in Chicago, specifically, the Little Italy neighborhood.  They found the perfect spot to combine the bride's Italian heritage and Nick's affinity for breathtaking heights by having a rooftop wedding at the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame on Taylor Street.  The groom's English family wedding traditions were also present, including the lucky horseshoe.  Congratulations to Catherine and Nick, and of course we wish them buona fortuna!

When Italian-American bride Catherine wed her groom Nick, she borrowed a tradition from his English family and carried a lucky horseshoe down the isle.  Take note that the horseshoe is carried with the ends facing up to be sure the luck never runs out of their marriage! 

While Americans share many wedding traditions with the British, there are some things, like the horseshoe, that have yet to generally catch on in the states, and there are plenty more great ideas to borrow from wedding customs in Great Britain.
