Wedding annoucement

TORNABENE, 37, AND RESE, 38
By KIRSTEN FLEMING
MAY 7 - AnnMarie Tornabene and Albert Rese planned a medieval-themed wedding in which to tie the knot - literally. At the the Riviera catering hall in Massapequa, L.I., "It was a hand-fasting ceremony where the reverend tied a cord around our wrists before we kissed," says Tornabene, who wore a Renaissance-inspired, ivory corset gown. The pair first met years ago when Tornabene, a fine arts photographer, was working at CompUSA and Rese came in to buy a laptop. "He just kept coming in, and he finally asked me out," says Tornabene of her beau, a New York City probation officer. Many of the 80 guests arrived dressed in period costume and watched the couple dance to "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" from the movie "A Mighty Wind." Later, Tornabene adds, instead of giving a speech, "my sister sang a love song and played the guitar."
