A luxury destination wedding in Rome designed by P & J Events
On July 18, 2025, Hollywood actor Josh Lucas (Yellowstone, Sweet Home Alabama) married Brianna Ruffalo, meteorologist for ABC 7 Los Angeles, in one of the most exclusive and spiritual wedding locations in the world — inside the Vatican.
The couple’s Catholic wedding ceremony took place in a sacred space overlooking the iconic dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, creating a deeply meaningful and cinematic moment. The entire wedding celebration — from ceremony to the cocktail and dinner reception with breathtaking views of Rome — was impeccably designed and produced by P & J Events, the luxury wedding firm led by Paolo Nassi @paolo_nassi and Jinane Kafrouny @jinanekafrouny .
Josh Lucas shared a series of emotional, black-and-white images on Instagram, showing the newlyweds kissing inside the Vatican and walking hand in hand after the ceremony, smiling as guests applauded. In his caption, he publicly thanked the creative team:
“A huge thank you to deeply talented @caterinaerrani_photography & to @paolo_nassi @JinaneKafrouny @weddings_italy who helped make the dream of wedding in the #Vatican come true…”
The bride, Brianna Ruffalo, also posted touching words:
“Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.”
This Vatican wedding marks one of the most iconic celebrity weddings in Italy this year and confirms Rome as a top destination for couples seeking elegance, spirituality, and timeless beauty.
From the sacredness of the vows to the elegance of the post-ceremony celebration, Paolo & Jinane and their expert team created a seamless journey that blended tradition, luxury, and authentic Italian charm.
