Breanne Lilja & Rico Day

Fri, 07/17/2015


Breanne and Rico, both Pittsburgh natives, never met in their hometown. It was while on vacation in Myrtle Beach where their paths first crossed when Rico was invited to the family’s annual get together. After dating for five years, Rico took Breanne to a surprise dinner on the top of Mount Washington. They went for a walk and had a gorgeous view of the city of Pittsburgh. Rico found a secluded spot, where he popped the question. Ironically, it ended up being the same spot Breanne’s dad proposed, which Rico had no idea of beforehand. The wedding took place at the Marriott Grande Dunes Resort and Spa in the courtyard, where one of the most meaningful elements was the pair being married by Dick Pritchard, the bride’s dad’s best friend from college who also married her parents and aunt and uncle. The theme was “Tropical Chic,” with beachy décor that was elegant and modern. Creamsicle orange, ivory, gold, blush, peach and champagne were the colors and the card table included a floral display with live goldfish and a wishing tree guestbook. The couple live in Pittsburgh.
