Alexa and Rob, on The Knot!

August 5, 2009

Alexa Hilal and Rob Calabro were married on September 20, 2008, a beautiful, and unseasonably warm fall day. The ceremony setting was The Church of Loretto, on the Campus of Saint Mary’s College, the bride’s alma mater. The tented reception was held on the lawn at Tippicanoe Place, with the fabulous mansion serving as drop back. The guest tables were named after famous boxers, as a nod to the grooms passion for boxing. Sprigs of rosemary, grown by the brides mother, were tucked into each napkin that accompanied the menu card, which featured this poem: ‘Drink wine, it is what remains of the harvest of youth- the season of roses and wine and drunken friends. Be happy for a moment, that moment is your life.’ – Omar Khayyam live
