You know how some people have that awesome combination of being completely kind and also totally bad-ass awesome? Yup.
A little preview of yesterday:
Lucie.
Meet Lucie.
Her Mom and Dad are the brilliant and ubber creative geniuses behind the Lark Hotel Group.
This weekend we are here in Newport for a wedding, staying at The Attwater, and it's my new favorite place to stay. Ever. You have the words "unconventional" and "reimagined" in your tag lines and I'm pretty much in love. And then you throw in a tiny hostess with a penguin apron and a hilarious vocabulary, annnnnnd I'm done.
Yes.
Alana & Joe // Newport Wedding Sneak Peek
The fact is, it's 6:00 on the morning after their wedding and my brain still cannot digest the complete awesomeness that was yesterday. Every. Single. Second. I was high-five-ing the Universe for bringing Alana and Joe, and all their marvelous ruckus, into my world.
So here are just a few frames. Because one isn't nearly enough.
I wish I could share a thousand. And I wish you could smell the Newport ocean breeze. And I wish this was how the world was everywhere, because I wish everyone could know a love (complete with glitter cannons) like this.
Little Things
On the night of their first date, she was wearing a new outfit. Nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary, but the second he laid eyes on her, his heart stopped. It didn't take long for both of them to know this was something special. That night, after they said their goodbyes, Talia folded up her date-night outfit, tucked it away, and swore she would never ever wash it. She wanted to hold onto the magic, the moments, forever.
On their wedding day, Talia surprised Michael with a heart stitched to the back of his tie. It was made from the fabric of the top she wore on their first date. She wore a matching one carefully sewn to the inside of her wedding dress.
It's the special little things, the authentic pieces of the puzzle, that always make my heart sing. I know that these unique details are the ones that will mean the most 20, 30, 110 years from now.
The vintage elephant pin, worn by her ancestors. The antique charm bracelet passed down through the generations. The hand-stitched hearts, still holding the whispers from the first night they knew.
