On June 29th, Eva Amurri, the daughter of acclaimed actress Susan Sarandon and film director Franco Amurri, tied the knot with her partner Ian Hock in a beautiful garden-themed ceremony held in the Hudson Valley region. The 39-year-old bride donned a glamorous corset-style wedding gown for her special day, which she celebrated with great excitement.
Despite the joyous occasion, Eva’s choice of wedding attire faced some criticism online, with certain individuals deeming it “inappropriate” and “tasteless.” However, the bride remained undeterred, taking to Instagram to express her pure elation at becoming “Officially #TheBestDayEva.”
The wedding, which seamlessly blended the couple’s personal style with the picturesque natural setting, marked a significant milestone in Eva Amurri’s life. As the daughter of two renowned entertainment industry figures, Eva’s decision to tie the knot in such a memorable way has undoubtedly captured the attention of her followers and the wider public.
The intimate ceremony featured 40 guests, including her children, Marlowe Mae, Major James, and Mateo Antoni Martino, who played special roles. Major walked Eva down the aisle, a moment she described as “an experience I’ll never forget.”
The couple also incorporated a “ring blessing” where guests passed their wedding rings around to “put good energy into them.”
Eva and Ian focused on creating a personal and family-centered day, saying, “We really wanted to center our little family unit in all of it.” The French garden party-inspired event featured a curated menu by Grounded Catering, with Hudson Valley duck, cedar plank salmon, and a selection of local cheeses and charcuterie.
For the reception, Eva changed into a second Kim Kassas dress with feather trim and sparkles, paired with custom Nike Air Force Ones. The couple shared their first dance to Taylor Swift’s “Lover” and a family dance to “Joy” by Andy Grammer, highlighting their close bond.
