"At Winvian Farm in Morris, CT, near Litchfield. A beautiful, woman/family owned resort with seed-to-table dining, 113 acres, and 18 distinctive cottages designed by 15 architects.

Blue, Green, Gold, and White (with some silver sprinkled in). 

The idea was Midsummer Night’s Dream ambience

 with film themed accents. 

Our table cards were all named after some

of our favorite movies, and the escort cards looked like

movie tickets, and the welcome sign and menus

 looked like old school movie marquees."

"Having worked as a fitting model for going on 9 years, I am fairly particular about what I like and what looks good on me. 

I knew I wanted simple (no sequins or beading or excess decoration), and some balance of elegant and sexy. 

As I collected pictures on Pinterest and looked up different designers, I realized that most of the dresses I selected had a similar style, but I knew I wanted something to make the dress distinct and not just “another white ballgown." 

 I also wanted comfort - if I’m spending 8+ hours in a dress, I want to feel good!"

"I had looked at a few of Antonio’s designs online, and as I went to various stores and ateliers to try on different dresses, I found that the Eunie dress kept popping up at the back of my mind. 

When I finally tried it on, I knew I’d found the one. 

Every dress I’d tried up to that point on had at least one issue (too itchy, uncomfortable seaming design, not my style, design elements I didn’t want), and this was the only dress I had no complaints about! 

Even better, it had everything I wanted - a sleek hand feel, elegant with a beautiful drape, but with a subtle sexiness, a classic silhouette but unique design details. And the final element that sealed the deal - it had pockets!! 

(During the ceremony when I pulled my vows out of my pocket I heard a couple hushed, awed and joyful tones whisper, “it has pockets!” I felt the same way)."

"At the end of the ceremony, after we said our “I do’s” our officiant said “So say we all” and the assembled guests (as instructed by our officiant) all chorused in return with, “So say we all.” 

This is a reference to the show Battlestar Galactica, where this phrase is echoed by the community 

to signify unity, approval, and agreement, and at times, as an ‘amen’ of sorts. 

 This was our way of including our guests in the ceremony, and we felt our community

truly coming together in not just witnessing, but participating in our celebration.

 It was a powerful and wonderful way to welcome in the first moments as husband and wife."
