A weekend spent living la dolce vita for Sophie Monet and JP MacDonnel's wedding, jumping off rocks and swimming their hearts out, eating fresh fish and pasta, drinking local wine, and watching the sun rise off the coast.
, met one Sunday afternoon in May. They were both at Surfrider Beach in Malibu, and Sophie and her friends happened to pick a sandy spot right in front of JP and his brother, who were surfing. “In the direct view of the waves, we immediately locked eyes,” Sophie remembers. “He was with his little dog Chloe, and my friend went right up to spark a conversation and introduced us.”
Sophie and JP have always had a strong connection to Italy. “I have very early memories of spending summers in Italy,” Sophie says. “Growing up, my family would take road trips to Umbria and Tuscany while my dad spent time painting ceramics in Deruta. Later, I studied abroad in Rome and learned about my Italian roots in the town of Abruzzo.”
The 14-room structure was an old fisherman’s apartment and manor house, and the space was simple, but beautiful. “It was important to preserve all of the natural characteristics of this place that felt magically stuck in time,” Sophie says. “We wanted our guests to feel the same thing we did the very first time we visited, and we wanted to embrace every aspect of the Sicilian culture for a real authentic experience that matched the incredible backdrop.
The ceremony took place on a hill overlooking Tonnara Di Scopello. Friends and family found their seats under olive trees facing the sea. Sophie and JP stood in front of everyone with their best friend, author Erin Falconer, serving as officiant. “She shared some stories about the journey that brought us together, and led all of us to that magical spot in Sicily,” Sophie remembers.
