Ambra and Gianclaudio seal their new marriage with a celebratory kiss after leaving the Castegnato City Hall. Their wedding guests cheer in excitement as they capture the moment on camera.

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed limits and restrictions on nearly every aspect of life, but Ambra and Gianclaudio decided that their love was limitless. Instead of postponing or canceling their wedding, they opted to move forward with a civil ceremony at the city hall and an intimate outdoor reception in their backyard with their closest family members and friends. Given the fact that this couple was getting married during unprecedented times, they decided to create their own spin on many wedding traditions, including requiring guests to wear metal-themed clothing in order to honor their favorite music genre.
