“When our wedding date was finalized, I started looking for a new dress, but could not find anything,” she continued. “Adriana asked me to come try on the original dress again. I reluctantly agreed, and when I tried it on with my cousins and daughter, I started crying and realized it was still the one.”
During their flower farm-themed nuptials, Jillian and Justin—who share kids Leo, 9, and Annie, 6—also exchanged traditional wedding vows and hosted an Italian-themed rehearsal dinner as a nod to Justin’s Italian roots and Catholic background.
