Sophie Delezio, a symbol of courage and resilience, recently tied the knot with her longtime love, Joseph Salerno, in a breathtaking countryside ceremony at Anambah House in Australia’s Hunter Valley. The 24-year-old bride, glowing in a delicately embellished gown and lace veil, shared the special day with 160 guests—including the medical heroes who helped save her life.
Once known to the world for surviving two tragic accidents in early childhood, Sophie walked down the aisle with grace and strength. Her bridesmaids, dressed in soft beige tones, stood by her side as she exchanged vows with Joseph, whom she met during their teen years. The couple’s connection shone through candid behind-the-scenes moments full of laughter and tenderness.
The ceremony blended romance with deeply personal touches. From handwritten vows to their first dance to the Ronettes’ classic “Be My Baby,” every detail reflected their journey. Sophie’s custom prosthetic legs, enabling her to walk in heels, stood as a quiet triumph of perseverance and hope. Her bridal look was completed with sentimental jewelry—diamond heart and pearl drop earrings gifted by actress Sophia Loren.
Their celebration continued in a rustic-chic barn overlooking rolling hills, and the couple made a stylish entrance in a vintage 1964 Pontiac Bonneville. A luxurious Airbnb housed their bridal party for the weekend, adding to the joy of the occasion.
More than a wedding, the event was a powerful tribute to Sophie’s journey—from surviving the unimaginable to embracing love and life with open arms. Her strength and spirit inspired everyone present, making this celebration not only a union of two hearts but also a moving testament to the human spirit.
