    The welcome dinner was hosted in the backyard of my parents’ house in Southampton. It was inspired by our trip to Morocco. We encouraged everyone to get comfortable and casual by sharing communal tables in the grass. We really wanted the event to have a bohemian feel.

    Having a laugh at the pre-wedding festivities with my cousin Caitlin (who is basically my sister). We grew up together in a small town in western Maryland before I moved to New York and now live just a few floors away from each other. I didn’t have a traditional wedding party, but she was my main squeeze.

    The Moroccan rugs, pillows, and throws were resonant of one of the first trips Bobby and I took together, and the floral decoration was inspired by a scene from a dinner that Athena Calderone had put on. Bobby created a custom menu with Art of Eating inspired by his Hawaiian upbringing, and in the spirit of encouraging people to get to know one another and make new friends, we included open heart and communication crystals in everyone’s gift bags. I think it worked!

    I loved being able to bring my favorite people together for a long four-day weekend so that friends from various parts of my life would get to know one another. We are wearing fresh flower orchid, pikake, and plumeria leis that Bobby’s mom, Jean, brought from Hawaii.
