Yesterday, we headed over to Orlando to spent the evening at beautiful Dubsdread, where Laura and Sam’s wedding reception was held back in June. We weren’t there to celebrate with one couple and their guests this time — we were there to meet a few dozen couples, and lots of other great Orlando wedding professionals […]

When we drove to Virginia and back for Sharon + Harrison’s wedding, I read out loud to Danny. We finished Mockingjay, the last of the Hunger Games trilogy (with an unfortunate seven hours left to drive. . .) on the way home, and I think we accomplished a rare feat: We found a piece of fiction […]

You love one another not just with a convenient-for-now love, but a truly self-sacrificing love that makes me believe […]

By the time Sharon was buttoned into her stunning Monique Lhuillier gown, the rain had passed into the mountains wrapped around Keswick. Everything would proceed as planned: A ceremony in front of the great house, overlooking the vineyards Sharon had long envisioned as the backdrop to her wedding day; a cocktail hour on the East […]

Several of our brides this year have received a mirror from their makeup artists, taken one quick look, and nervously gulped, “Don’t you think this looks like too much?” If the makeup artist knows her job, the answer is simple: Nope.
