A unique gathering of personality, warmth and authenticity.

A wedding day dinner party for the dear-hearted, special not only in the loveliness of it’s personal touches but also for the sheer calm with which the day was approached.

Colorful cocktails lined the bar as the room filled with the hum of friendship and family in the moments before the ceremony. Add to this the pitter patter of rain outside the open doors of the restaurant, the subtle scents of wet sidewalk, roasted peppers and cava and…there you are, in the moments before the ceremony. Monica is ravishing in white with her raven-like features and Chris, so suave in full bespoke finery–but in a way they don’t seem all dressed up. They just seem like themselves, happy and easy with each other, almost like no one else is even there.

A heart-swelling ceremony, then more bubbly and of course, toasts. Then poetry and music amidst laughter and the serving of steaming pastas, calamari and grilled sardines.

And then a hush..the couple rises.

They are having a baby–the secret now belongs to everyone.

What a way to rev up a party.

Smiles abound, more food, more libations. Hugs all around.

May your lives always wax poetic like this lovely day M&C. xo
