The 39-year-old daughter of Susan Sarandon wed in a charming and lovely wedding. The newlywed has received harsh criticism from the public for her wardrobe, even though she looks stunning in her gorgeous corset wedding gown. Pictures and information from the happy event have been circulated online.
Eva Amurri, daughter of renowned actress Susan Sarandon and renowned filmmaker Franco Amurri, married her adored fiancé, Ian Hock, on June 29 in a breathtaking wedding with a garden theme. It was like something out of a storybook. Public opinion has been strongly sparked by photos of the bride and groom exchanging vows in New York’s Hudson Valley, particularly with regard to Eva’s outfit.
Eva and Ian chose a more private and intimate setting, exchanging vows in front of forty people. Among the guests were Eva’s mother and Tim Robbins, Susan’s ex-husband. The 39-year-old lifestyle blogger and actress’s kids had a special role in the ceremony, which added a touch of sweetness to the day.
Using ribbons they had chosen themselves, Marlowe Mae, Major James, and Mateo Antoni Martino—who Eva shares with her ex-husband Kyle Martino—performed a customary handfasting.
Eva, who also posted a variety of photos from her special day on her Instagram Story, talked about include her children in the celebration and said, “We really wanted to center our little family unit in all of it, and make it as much about the kids as it was about us.”
Eva had no bridesmaids, thus the bridal party also included Mateo, Marlowe, and Major. Eva shared her joy on social media about her wedding, referring to it as “Officially #TheBestDayEva.”
Little Major had a very special role to perform at his mother’s wedding. He looked dapper in his tan suit and blue tie.
Eva responded, “Major […] walked me down the aisle, which was an experience I’ll never forget.” Eva and her chef husband made sure everyone else felt included in the ceremony in addition to their children.
The couple included a “ring blessing,” in which their wedding bands were handed around the attendees, row by row, “to put good energy into them” prior to the vows being exchanged.
Eva and Ian’s big day was inspired by a “French garden party,” and they worked incredibly hard with their wedding officiant to create the ideal atmosphere. Eva clarified that, having been married once previously, the preparation process was simpler the second time around.
Despite not having her three children and acknowledging occasional stress, she and Ian were able to achieve the wedding of their dreams. Captivating images show that the pair accomplished their goals.
An exclusive story about Eva’s wedding with gorgeous pictures from the big day was published in People Magazine. Their description, which appears next to the image carousel, says, “Eva Amurri has found her ‘Happily Eva After!’ 💗.”
The wedding photographer, Taralynn Lawton, also posted a variety of stunning images from the event on Instagram.
Taralynn captioned her photo with, “Eva + Ian tied the knot this past weekend with an intimate ceremony tucked away at @windrifthall in the Hudson Valley.”
The message went on, “They invited Eva’s three children, mother Susan Sarandon, and stepfather Tim Robbins to join them, making their lovely blended family the focal point of the festivities.” Being a part of this wedding weekend and their @people magazine exclusive was such an honor. More will be revealed later this week.”
Beautiful photos that guests had shot during the event were also shared. Marcus McGregor, the wedding coordinator, shared a lot of pictures from Eva and Ian’s special day.
He also took selfies with Susan and the bride and groom in these lovely pictures.
Marcus also included images of Ian, the mother of his children (Susan), and Eva’s father, Franco, who joined his daughter.
The setting had “lots of natural colors that mimic the environment at the estate, with little pops of whimsy with the chamomile flowers and hints of pale green and pale blue,” perfectly capturing the whimsical appeal of the Hudson Valley.
Eva described the overall event as follows: “We worked with our officiant to create a ceremony that felt very intimate and personal, and we then centered it around our second passion in life—food! Really, all we needed was the lovely setting, our loved ones, and a delectable celebration.”
As a chef and food enthusiast, Ian and Eva took great pleasure in selecting only the most exquisite dishes for their menu. The best foods from the Hudson Valley were served by Grounded Catering, including salmon on cedar planks, a variety of salads, and succulent Hudson Valley duck.
Meals for the guests were prepared over an open fire, and naturally, everything was presented family style to fit the idea of close friends and family. On snacking tables, there was charcuterie and a variety of cheeses from nearby farms and sellers in addition to the main course.
As for the drink menu, the bar poured small wines from the vineyard and regional beers. Additionally, guests of Eva and Ian could choose between two signature cocktails: a non-alcoholic berry shrub and a fresh fruit margarita. For celebratory moments, champagne was also available.
The newlyweds’ vanilla-flavored wedding cake was served as dessert. Freshly macerated raspberries and Italian meringue buttercream were used to decorate the cake. Fresh chamomile flowers were used as cake decorations, encircling the multilayer cake. These flowers were also included in Eva’s bouquet.
In reference to the primary occasion of the day—her encounter with her future spouse at the alter—Eva made her way down the aisle to a live, acoustic rendition of the legendary Elvis Presley song “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” She wore a gorgeous gown with a column structure and a billowing skirt, designed by Kim Kassas. It was strapless and corseted.
She said that she got the dress at Bridal Reflections in New York City and said, “I love how it has a vintage feel and is ultra feminine without being overly pouffy.” I thought the outfit struck the ideal blend between sexiness and elegance.
Regretfully, a lot of people do not feel the same way Eva does about her wedding dress; many expressed their disgust by posting comments on internet forums. “Unsuitable attire,” a social media user wrote.
One more person agreed, saying, “Don’t like Bridal gown too much Exposed.” Another person commented, “The dress is tasteless.” “What a tacky dress for a 40 year [old’s] second marriage,” said someone on Instagram.
A fan complimented Eva’s mother’s outfit, saying, “Love Susan’s suit!” In the midst of the criticism Eva was receiving, a kind message arrived from a fan.
“Congrats to you both ❤️❤️ or should I say all of you ❤️ you look gorgeous Eva 😍,” said the admirer. I adore your wedding gown 👰. Your parents look stunning ❤️. Your family is lovely.”
Aside from Eva’s outfit, her husband looked sharp in his navy blue suit that SuitShop custom-made. Eva’s sons’ tan suits were similarly produced by the same design firm and customized to fit their sizes.
The mother-of-the-bride, who appears in a number of adorable photos with her cherished daughter and family, looked stunning in a vibrant flowery pantsuit that went perfectly with the theme of the day. Tim, her well-known actor ex, looked dapper in a blue suit with a white button-down shirt underneath.
Later that day, Eva, being true to the designer of her wedding gown, put on another Kim Kassas outfit. Her second outfit included flowery lace, glitter, and feather trim.
Eva commented on her second outfit, saying, “I wore it with personalized Nike Air Force Ones that had our wedding date and pearl embellishments on them. It was reminiscent of Priscilla Prseley on the streets!”
Heartwarming elements about Eva and Ian’s special day included their first dance as a couple and their decision to exchange love letters they had written themselves as vows. Taylor Swift’s “Lover,” a song that holds special meaning for their love, caused Eva and Ian to sway.
“Then we danced a family dance to ‘Joy’ by Andy Grammer, which is our special family song,” Eva said. Ian believes that the children Eva has with him are his own, even though he is not their biological father.
Eva’s devoted mother revealed, “Watching him with the kids the last four years has been incredible as well,” adding insight into the tight bond that Ian has established with her kids. As it is, he is the ideal stepparent.
The enamored wife continued by praising Ian for being a caring and encouraging partner. “I really love how Ian takes care of me and the kids and is the most loving and considerate partner,” Eva said.
She said, “He loves me and takes care of me in a way that lets me step into my feminine energy and be the mom I want to be because I feel so supported.”
She went on to say that she thinks of Ian as her best friend and mentioned that she enjoys laughing and acting silly with him. Since their initial meeting, when Eva was pregnant and had recently separated from Kyle, the two had gone a long way.
Eva was enthralled when he first approached her at her seat at the restaurant where he was working as a cook to introduce himself to a lady Eva was dating—a person Ian had gone to high school with. “What ensued was a very special and somewhat old-fashioned courtship of getting to know each other pretty slowly,” she said.
Eva swooned, talking about her relationship with Ian in general, saying, “For both of us, this has seemed like a fairytale. It felt like it was meant to be from the beginning, both our connection and the timing of everything.”
Ian proposed to Eva in what is undoubtedly the most romantic location—Paris—before they were married. In February 2023, he proposed to her in the gardens of the Rodin Museum, which is her favorite spot. Exuberant, Eva Amurri sent her mother, Susan Sarandon, a video message announcing the good news.
Eva shared multiple pictures of her engagement ring to announce her engagement. The writer said that others who knew them well understood the significance of that moment for them by sharing some song lyrics concerning her breakup with her then-fiance, Ian.
They were thrilled, she recalled, and eager to spend the rest of their days together. Eva posted a number of photos of herself and Ian during their engagement in Paris on her Instagram Story, including one of them sharing a kiss on a bridge.
Additionally, fans were able to get a close-up look at her stunning engagement ring. Eva admitted that she was “dying” for her ring, which Ian had designed in collaboration with a jewelry designer.
Susan’s daughter posted a note on the internet expressing how appreciative and touched she and Ian were of the heartfelt congratulations they had received. The couple claimed to have read every one, which gave them a sense of community support and affection.
Eva shared that she had discovered that a community that encouraged people and strengthened their bonds as a pair was the foundation of a happy and fulfilling relationship. She expressed her gratitude to everyone who had helped them both in person and virtually.
Another photo displayed Susan’s daughter at the Rodin Museum, revealing that they got engaged in the museum’s grounds. Eva also included a picture of the precise location of Ian’s proposal.
A brief video of the celebrity’s daughter approaching the camera, jogging as she approached, and raising her left hand to reveal her engagement ring was also featured. Eva further disclosed that she sent the amusing video to her mother and other family members to announce her engagement.
Eva also admitted that she and Ian shot a lot of pictures like the one in which they were shown standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in a picture frame. In the photo, the couple was grinning, and she was raising her hand to display her ring.
The actress’s daughter shared another photo of herself revealing her stunning ring with her left hand raised, this time indoors, admitting that she couldn’t stop flaunting it. Ian was seen clutching his then-fiance’s left hand in another picture, and she disclosed that he insisted on seeing it frequently.
