On this episode of The Wedding Reporter, Alyssa DiCicco sits down with Elizabeth Weber—yes, the fan-favorite winner of Love Island USA Season 1 and the powerhouse behind Elizabeth Marie Social. From her unforgettable reality TV days to her sweet love story with Gianni Settino, Elizabeth takes us inside their first date (spoiler: it’s adorable), the swoon-worthy proposal, and all the behind-the-scenes of planning a dreamy Lake Como destination wedding. We also dive into her passion for influencer marketing, creating meaningful content, and why helping others shine is at the heart of what she does.
