“To be honest, I adored everything I tried on (yes - I was one of those brides). I decided on my gorgeous Alyne Crawford by Rita Vinieris because I am obsessed with the simple, elegant, timeless but still modern look. When I wore it, I just felt like myself — which I love!”

The Groom

“There were so many different micro moments of knowing he was the one - starting with his taking me on our first date to a 2Chainz concert.”

“We wrote our own vows to each other, which I highly recommend. The *second* I finished reading my vows to Sean, tornado sirens started blaring (at our very much outdoor ceremony). I did what anyone would with such serendipitous timing and took a few dramatic bows for the audience. It was an “oh sh*t” moment that made for a fun, memorable moment as we sealed the deal.”

“We had a cigar bar on the balcony in honor of Sean’s late father Tom Herlihy. It was important to us to incorporate his memory into our day & the perfect way to celebrate in his honor.”
