“Good Day New York” anchor Rosanna Scotto’s son, Louis Ruggiero Jr., and his fiancée, Mia Nowotarski, are married!
The couple said “I Do” in front of a starry crowd at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City Friday, a source exclusively told Page Six.
“Friday night was filled with love, glamour and plenty of New York media royalty,” the source said, noting that Fox 5 News stars in attendance included Dan Bowens, Bianca Peters, Natasha Verma, Steve Lacy and fan-favorite meteorologist Mike Woods.
“This wasn’t just a wedding, it was a full-on Fox 5 family affair,” the source said.
We also hear Scotto’s dear friend, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, officiated the wedding mass.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their loved ones made their way to downtown Manhattan’s legendary Prince George Ballroom for the reception.
“With lush floral installations, glowing candlelight and elegant décor, the ballroom felt straight out of a fairytale as friends, family and the tight-knit Fox 5 News crew gathered to toast the happy couple,” the source gushed.
We’re told event maestro Larry Scott of Lawrence Scott Events transformed the iconic space into a “magical wonderland.”
The bride stunned in a strapless, basque waist wedding gown by Kleinfeld Bridal’s star designer, Pnina Tornai. She also accessorized with a lace veil and a diamond necklace.
“[Tornai] had planned to personally deliver the gowns and attend the wedding, but has been sheltering safely in Israel amid the ongoing conflict and was unable to travel to New York,” the source revealed of the Israeli-born designer.
Ruggiero Jr. wore a cream jacket and a black bow-tie while his mom, 67, was glowing in a shimmery blue, off-the-shoulder gown, also by Tornai.
We’re told the couple shared their first dance to “Spin You Around” by Morgan Wallen.
“The dance floor stayed packed late into the night,” the insider shared.
Also there to celebrate was Rosanna’s attorney husband, Louis Ruggiero, as well as her mom, Marion “Mama” Scotto, her sister, Elaina Scotto, her brother John Scotto, and her and Louis’ daughter, Jenna Ruggiero.
One guest told us they overheard Marion joking that she was there to make sure her “famous meatballs” from her restaurant, Fresco by Scotto, were “being served to [her] liking.”
Ruggiero Jr., 31, and Mia, 28, got engaged in 2023 and welcomed their son, Vincent, in February 2024.
Their little boy was also present on the day and looked adorably dapper in a crisp white dress shirt.
On Thursday, the family celebrated their rehearsal dinner at Kellari Taverna in Midtown.
