The Pre-Wedding 5K: A Personal Touch
Who says wedding weekends have to stick to a strict template? To kick off the festivities, the couple hosted a morning 5K run for their guests, inspired by Christina’s passion for running. It was the perfect, high-energy way to welcome everyone, break the ice, and set a relaxed, joyful tone for the days ahead.
The Venue: European Charm Meets Raleigh Elegance
The entire weekend unfolded against the dreamy backdrop of Villa Mirabela. The venue brings a slice of refined, old-world European charm, making it feel like an exclusive destination getaway.

Bringing a vision like this together takes a lot of heart, and Brittany Ana Events executed it flawlessly. The design felt effortlessly sophisticated but never stiff. Every element, from the emotional ceremony to the gorgeous reception space, was curated to feel elevated and personal.
