Emily Compagno has been married to Peter Riley, her spouse, since September 2017. She is extremely quiet about her personal life, but she has made a name for herself professionally as an attorney, TV personality, and former NFL cheerleader. She passed the California bar exam, started working as a criminal defense attorney, and was named captain of the Oakland Raiders’ cheering squad, the Oakland Raiderettes. Following that, she was chosen as an NFL ambassador and became one of the five USO cheerleaders. Compagno joined Fox News in 2018 and co-hosted a conversation program called The Five. She then became the show’s permanent co-host. Despite her private life, the media celebrity opened up to Layers of Luxe Weddings Magazine about her runaway wedding.
Emily Compagno and Her Husband’s Wedding
The wedding took place at the stunning Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, Italy. Jos and Tree WoodSmith of JOS Studios, friends of theirs, were chosen to plan their little wedding. Suzanne Hanley created a stunning gown for the bride out of airy layers of nude silk chiffon. In the meanwhile, her spouse donned a custom-tailored blue tuxedo with gold cufflinks passed down from groom to groom by Compagno’s father’s Sicilian family.
He accented his outfit with a watch that Compagno had given him. “ti amo per sempre,” which translates to “I love you forever,” was inscribed on the watch. The event was held in the outside Tea Room Pavilion, which had been decked with flowers and was accompanied by a solo musician. As Tomaso Albinoni’s intoxicatingly beautiful music, ‘Adagio in G Minor,’ played in the background, Compagno went down the petal aisle amid the flowers.
The husband and wife composed their own vows and exchanged rings at the end of the “emotional and joyous ceremony.” The newlyweds spent the whole day visiting the Terrazza dell’Infinito gardens and Ravello, a little 5th-century village. They enjoyed the sunset together before having their private supper and celebration in the magnificent Crypt. The private property offered a panoramic view of the sea. Matrodi Baldo Durazzo, the Villa’s Michelin-starred restaurant, offered them a four-course feast for supper. Following that, the pair partied all night. After a celebration breakfast the next morning, they boarded a speedboat to Positano on the Amalfi Coast, stopping for swims and lunch along the way.
The Love Story of Emily Compagno and Her Husband
Riley and the Outnumbered host met when they were adolescents. While nothing romantic was brewing at the time, they fell in love when they happened to meet paths on a Seattle sidewalk after 16 years. Compagno and her husband planned an Italian wedding to celebrate her family’s southern Italian heritage.
She tweeted a picture of her husband’s wedding ring the day after their wedding. She said that her boyfriend had neglected to put the ring on. There were comments from her supporters congratulating her and humorously saying she married the wrong person. Some defended her husband, saying he had just forgotten to put it somewhere and hadn’t misplaced it. They even asked her to give him some leeway.
