Cipolla popped the question in August of 2018.
Cipolla proposed while he and Persico were on vacation in Montauk, New York.
A few months after they got engaged, Persico started shopping for a wedding dress. She had a clear vision of what she wanted her gown to look like.
"I knew I wanted to wear something mermaid style, but with the option of an overlay skirt," she said, as the style could give her two dresses in one.
Persico took her mother and sister, who was her maid of honor, to shop with her in New York City. She didn't have a specific budget in mind for her gown.
Persico fell in love with the first dress she saw at Kleinfeld Bridal.
"As soon we got to Kleinfeld Bridal, I saw the dress and knew that was the one," Persico told Insider.
The 2018 Love by Pnina Tornai dress is almost like two dresses in one thanks to the removable, full skirt.
The gown is covered in sparkles, and it has a plunging neckline with a transparent layer of fabric nestled into the bodice.
The dress has a slim silhouette, but the additional skirt makes it look more like a ball gown.
The dress can be worn on its own or with the skirt.
Persico wore the heavy skirt to her ceremony, and she slipped out of it to be more comfortable during her reception.
Persico didn't make any major alterations to the gown, as the original design suited her.
She paired the dress with sparkly shoes and simple jewelry.
The back of the dress scoops low.
The back mirrors the front, creating a sexy silhouette that works with both the fuller and slimmer skirt.
The dress cost approximately $8,500.
Persico also paired the dress with a floor-length veil.
The veil was custom-designed by Pnina Tornai to match Persico's gown.
The dress was exactly what Persico wanted.
"I felt like a princess, but I also felt like myself," she told Insider of the gown. "That's what I wanted most of all."
Persico and Cipolla got married in September 2020.
The couple was originally supposed to get married in July, but they had to push it to September because of the coronavirus.
They were upset the wedding had to be pushed back, but it rained on the July wedding date and was sunny on the postponed day.
"It really felt like that day was meant to be for us," Persico told Insider.
Persico's favorite moment of the wedding was a surprise firework show.
Cipolla surprised his bride with the firework show as a wedding gift.
"I had no idea he did it, and it really was an amazing ending to a perfect day," Persico said.
Persico recommends brides don't bring too many people with them when they shop for a wedding dress.
"I think the biggest mistake a bride can make is having too many people with them while dress shopping because everyone will have a different opinion," she said.
"At the end of the day, you have to wear what is going to make you happy," Persico added.
"I love our history together," Persico said of her relationship with Cipolla.
"He is my best friend," she added.
