Vince ‘the Builder’ Fratantoniis married!
“At first, we envisioned having a very small and intimate wedding but as we began going through the wedding design process, we really wanted to include a larger group of close family and friends,” Samantha tells PEOPLE. “It was important for us to keep the evening very intimate even though our guest list grew.”
The “incredible and unforgettable evening” began with a private exchange of vows between the bride and groom that took place before the ceremony. The Fratantoni’s then said “I do” in front of a romantic white curtain and candle-lit backdrop before heading outside with their guests for dinner and dancing at the Silverleaf Country Club.

It was a challenge to find the perfect dress, she says, as “nothing felt special” despite the many designers she tried. Vince eventually flew with Samantha to California to try Kinsley James Bridal Couture in West Hollywood where she found her dream dress.
Both the designer — who has built homes for celebrities includingSimone Bilesand fiancéJonathan Owens, andReal Housewives of New Jersey’sTeresa Guidiceand husbandLuis Ruelas— and Samantha couldn’t wait for their big day.
“Being able to see each other as Samantha walked down the aisle in front of our close friends and family” is a memory the two will never forget.
