Jett Kenny and Lily Brown Marry Again in a Romantic Sicily Wedding

Jett Kenny and Lily Brown have celebrated their marriage for a second time, exchanging vows in a romantic destination ceremony in Taormina, Sicily.

The Australian couple had already legally married in a low-key courthouse ceremony in Brisbane in June, but on September 4 they returned to Italy for the larger celebration — a particularly fitting choice considering they became engaged during an Italian trip the previous year. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

A second wedding in Taormina

For the Sicilian ceremony, Lily moved away from the tailored bridal look she wore for their civil wedding and chose a much softer, more traditionally romantic silhouette.

Her ivory gown featured delicate straps and a long train, finished with a flowing veil worn over a neat brunette bun. Statement gold-and-pearl earrings added just enough decoration without competing with the simplicity of the dress. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

It is exactly the kind of bridal look that works in Taormina: light, elegant and unfussy enough not to fight with all that stone, sun and Sicilian architecture.

Jett kept the look relaxed

Jett wore a loose-fitting grey suit with a white shirt, skipping the tie for a more relaxed destination-wedding feel. Cream flowers pinned to his lapel coordinated with Lily's bouquet. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The styling of both looks feels deliberately easy rather than overly formal — which is probably why the photographs work so well against the historic Taormina setting.

From Brisbane courthouse to Sicily

The contrast with their first wedding is lovely.

For the Brisbane civil ceremony in June, Lily wore an ivory pencil skirt with a fitted jacket, white heels and a veil, while Jett chose a black suit with a white boutonnière. The couple announced the marriage simply as “Mr & Mrs Kenny.” :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Three months later, Sicily gave them the full destination-wedding chapter.

And I actually like the two-wedding approach here because the celebrations feel completely different rather than like one ceremony repeated twice: one intimate and sharply tailored, the other softer, romantic and designed around place.

Why the Sicily wedding works

Taormina can very easily tempt couples into doing too much. The backdrop is already dramatic enough.

Lily and Jett seem to have understood that.

The neutral flowers, ivory dress, relaxed grey tailoring and historic surroundings all sit in the same quiet palette. Nothing is screaming for attention, so the setting is allowed to do what Sicily does best: look absurdly beautiful without assistance.

Sometimes destination weddings work best when you stop trying to decorate the destination.

Courthouse first, Taormina second. Frankly, not a bad system.
