Though the photos seem right out of a fairy-tale, things almost didn’t go as planned for the couple. Verlander , a pitcher for the Houston Astros, had to be in Los Angeles only two days prior to play the last game in the World Series, and Upton was right there by his side while their friends and family were already at the venue in Italy.
“We had an event that night and everyone’s texting us, saying your wedding is so pretty. Wish you were here,” Upton said during an appearance on “The Tonight Show.”
Fortunately, the pair were still able to be there in spirit.
“We got taken around our wedding via FaceTime!” Verlander joked.

The couple thankfully made it just in time for an afternoon of family games and a red-themed rehearsal dinner at the Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco resort in Tuscany, Italy, the day before the ceremony. Their family and friends stayed on the property with them in an effort to create a vacation feeling to the wedding.
Upton said she fell in love with the resort for its breathtaking views, especially from the beautiful “secret garden” where the actual wedding ceremony took place.
She wore a gown designed by Valentino with intricate lace detailing, while Verlander wore a suit by Cicchini Custom Clothier as they said “I do” against the backdrop of a gorgeous Tuscan landscape.

The ceremony was followed by a reception complete with toasts and a first dance to Michael Bublé’s “Everything.” Upton changed into a more glamorous gown for the reception, with a bold, sheer design by Christy Rilling Studio.
