Now let’s do our big one in Italy.” People Magazine revealed the stunning photos from Alexa and Lino’s courthouse ceremony. Speaking to the outlet about their big day, Alexa said: “When we started planning our wedding, we always envisioned it in two parts. “We wanted an intimate ceremony where we could be fully present with our immediate families, followed by a larger, multi-day celebration in Italy where we could celebrate with all of our friends and extended family.” Speaking about the courthouse part, Alexa added: “For this courthouse wedding, what mattered most was keeping the day simple, meaningful, and focused on our marriage. “We wanted our family to be there as we officially became husband and wife, and to spend quality time together without the excitement and schedule of a large wedding. It gave us the chance to slow down, soak in every moment, and celebrate this milestone with the people who have been by our sides from the very beginning.” When the couple appeared on Temptation Island, the other three couples established strict rules regarding touching, flirting, or being physical with the single “tempters”. But Alexa and Lino explicitly chose not to impose any restrictions, and were the only couple who did nothing. Alexa and Lino then got engaged during the filming of the 2025 series. The couple were engaged on June 2, 2024, during their final bonfire on the show. They successfully kept their engagement a secret for 10 months until the episode aired in spring 2025. Comment now
