Susan Sarandon’s 39-year-old daughter tied the knot in a beautifully enchanting ceremony. Despite looking radiant in her glamorous corset wedding gown, the new bride has found herself at the center of strong criticism from the public regarding her ensemble. Photos and details of the joyous occasion have been shared online.
Like a page straight out of a fairytale, Eva Amurri, daughter to iconic actress Susan Sarandon and famous director Franco Amurri, wed her beloved fiancé, Ian Hock, on June 29 in a stunning garden-themed ceremony. Pictures of the bride and groom saying “I do” in New York’s Hudson Valley have prompted strong reactions from the public, especially where Eva’s dress is concerned.
Opting for a more personal and intimate gathering, Eva and Ian exchanged vows in front of 40 guests. In addition to Eva’s mother, the guests included Susan’s ex, Tim Robbins. Adding a layer of sweetness to the day was the fact that the 39-year-old lifestyle blogger and actress’s children played a special role in the ceremony.
Marlowe Mae, Major James, and Mateo Antoni Martino, whom Eva shares with her ex-husband Kyle Martino, performed a traditional handfasting using ribbons they picked out themselves.
Speaking about incorporating her kids in her special day, Eva, who also shared an array of images from her big day on her Instagram Story, explained, “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.”
Mateo, Marlowe, and Major also made up the bridal party, as Eva did not have any bridesmaids. While expressing her excitement about the big day, Eva referred to her wedding as “Officially #TheBestDayEva.”
Little Major, who looked handsome in his tan suit and blue tie, had an extra special role to play at his mother’s wedding.
Eva said, “Major […] walked me down the aisle, which was an experience I’ll never forget.” Aside from her children, Eva and her chef husband also ensured their other guests felt included in the ceremony.
The duo incorporated what they call a “ring blessing,” where their wedding rings were passed around among guests—row by row—”to put good energy into them” before exchanging vows.
A “French garden party” was the inspiration behind Eva and Ian’s big day where they worked tirelessly with their wedding officiant to create the perfect setting. Having been married before, Eva explained that the second go-around concerning planning was easier.
Though she didn’t have her three kids and admitted to feeling slightly stressed at times, she managed to pull off the wedding she and Ian wanted. Eye-catching photos reveal that the couple achieved what they set out to do.
People Magazine featured an exclusive profile of Eva’s wedding with stunning photos of the special day. A part of their caption alongside the carousel of images reads, “Eva Amurri has found her ‘Happily Eva After!’ 💗.”
Taralynn Lawton, the wedding photographer, also took to Instagram to share her own array of beautiful photos of the ceremony.
Alongside her post, Taralynn captioned, “Eva + Ian tied the knot this past weekend with an intimate ceremony tucked away at @windrifthall in the Hudson Valley.”
The message continued, “They made their sweet blended family the center of the celebration, being joined by Eva’s three children, mother Susan Sarandon, and step father Tim Robbins. It was such an honor to be part of this wedding weekend and their @people magazine exclusive, with more to come later this week!”
Guests also shared lovely pictures they had taken while at the ceremony. Wedding coordinator, Marcus McGregor posted numerous images of Eva and Ian’s special day.
These beautiful photos also included him taking selfies with Susan and the bride and groom.
Marcus also shared pictures of Eva and her father, Franco, who joined his daughter, the mother of his children (Susan) and Ian.
Matching the whimsical charm of Hudson Valley, the location featured “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.”
