How Hallmark's Merritt Patterson Made Her Dream Wedding Come True

Merritt Patterson has experienced her fair share of romance between acting for the Hallmark Channel and Great American Family, but her real-life wedding on September 17, 2022 was an event to rival an rom com she’s appeared in. Patterson wed her husband JR Ringer in a lavish ceremony at Masseria San Giovanni set in Puglia, Italy.

“You can’t go wrong in Italy!” Patterson enthused to Over The Moon about the destination for her nuptials. “The people, the food, the landscape – everything is incredible.”

Intending to embrace the setting and not overwhelm it, the couple wanted to keep the decor and theme simple. “We wanted to embrace the natural beauty of the area,” the “One Perfect Match” actor explained. “Natural tones, textures, and colors were the obvious choice. The signage was simple, intentional, and designed by our good friend, Brittany Giello at Partners in Crafting.” Masseria San Giovanni was perfect for the couple, as it showcased the beauty of Italy while also housing all accommodations for the wedding, including a chapel where Patterson and Ringer were married.
