In one picture, a smartly dressed Sam poses with his boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, at the lavish-looking event which friends dubbed a 'big fat Italian wedding.'
'Had a great time at @vitcamm sister's wedding this past weekend,' reads the caption, which is complete with a rainbow of hearts, presumably acknowledging that the event took place during Gay Pride.
