The couple started dating in 2019 and got engaged just over one year ago. They tied the knot on July 3 at the Neighborhood Church of Palos Verdes in Palos Verdes Estates, California.
The ceremony took inspiration from the late 14th century painting The Birth of Venus, by Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, and Parisi told People ahead of the wedding that she wanted to make a nod to the artwork as she has “always been obsessed with my Italian heritage and the history of the Medici family, who commissioned Botticelli to create some of my favourite paintings”.
She also revealed that Davis proposed to her last June in front of The Birth of Venus. “It honestly felt like a dream. I can’t imagine a more thoughtful or more perfect proposal”, she told the outlet.

The couple reportedly had their first dance to Lana Del Rey‘s 2023 song ‘Young and Beautiful’,which featured on the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby.
