Francine Prieto's forever with American beau Frank Shotkoski started last September 22, 2016, when they exchanged "I Dos" in a simple wedding ceremony at the villa-style, boutique hotel Casa Mariantonia in Capri, Italy.

The bride wore an off-the-rack white Halston Heritage wedding dress and a pair of custom-made Anton Viva wedding sandals, a well-known Italian cobbler.

The venue's tropical set-up and wedding bouquet were care of Capri Moments.

The groom is an American molecular biologist.

The wedding cake

In an Instagram post, the actress wrote a sweet note to her new husband: "I knew I did from that first moment we met. It was.... Not love at first sight exactly, but-familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it's you. It's going to be you."

In another Instagram post, Francine wrote, "Everyone deserves a happily-ever-after."

Frank and Francine met through a common friend in December 2014.
