The Gessati Family


Smiling for the camera...well at least 2/3 of us are.



Linus looks like he is creating a mental escape plan to get away from us and the photographer!

Handsome couple!


"Don't worry Mom and Dad - you take pictures and I will enjoy the leaves. Everything is under control!"

Running to Mom.

Having Fun in Three

New York City!!!

Sharing a pretzel with Papa'...too salty!

Looking at Christmas Lights at Thanksgiving Point.

Autumn at Bridal Veil Falls.

Big smiles!

Getting to see the elephants at the zoo.

Getting to see all the creatures at the aquarium.

A kiss from Mom in Florence. We had a great time visiting Stefano's family in Italy this past summer.

Our Linus

Linus's blessing day.

Isn't this such an amazing smile?...these were Linus's short lived chubby days.

Waiting on our miracle.

Just Having Fun

Stefano felt like first class when the steward offered him a lemon wedge with his drink. Doesn't he look first class?
So I was bragging in Elders Quorum about Ally's amazing Italian cooking when they ended up asking us to teach the Elders Quorum how to make a complete Italian meal...luckily, Ally was very accommodating and here we are!

San Francisco was incredible! We fell in love with this beautiful city.

A windy day in Washington D.C.

Our Stateside Wedding Reception

The Newlyweds!

It was great to get to see old friends and family members thanks to this occasion.

Smiling for the camera.

I just love this guy!




Honeymoon in England

Everything in London was amazing to get to see. Big Ben, the London Bridge, Buckingham Palace...I loved it!

Eating real fish and chips was a unique experience. As you can see from my face, the vinegar was a bit tangy.

Had to have my picture taken in a classic telephone booth.

Bradford-on-Avon was one of our favorite cities.

Being silly in South Hampton.





Our Wedding Day(s)



Believe it or not, between all of the pictures and greeting all of our friends, you are witnessing the only bites of food we took at our wedding!

Getting the right rings on the right fingers. We love this photo!

Our Engagement Snap Shots

This one made it to print.

I love making Stefano laugh!

He just couldn't keep a straight face!

Our International Courtship

My two week holiday visiting Ally's family and friends was a lot of fun...here we are at Bryce Canyon.

Hanging out in Stefano's parents back yard.

The YSA Spring Conference in Pescara, Italy.

Our courtship in Italy.

How Our Story Began

Officially boyfriend and girlfriend! Here we are on a weekend trip to Venice with Stefano's brother and sister-in-law.
