DeRosa said, “I think handwritten vows really take a wedding ceremony to the next level. Plus, I’m a full-time singer-songwriter and my fiancé certainly isn’t, so I didn’t think he’d be interested, but he was excited to write his own vows. I’m ready to be surprised and will absolutely cry!’
A string quartet performed at the wedding, as Carlyle walked down the aisle to Blink-182’s hit First Date, while DeRosa walked to Shania Twain’s You’re Still The One.
