Wedding Date on May 19, 2018

A writer and book lover meets a flower child who dreams of a more romantic era. They fall in love over long conversations and cold drinks, and find themselves engaged while whale watching off the coast of Cape Cod. Inspiration, for the bride and groom, was in no short supply, and the bride began planning the wedding before they were back on dry land. With a year and a half before their wedding date, the couple wanted to embrace the time they had to plan the wedding and ensure each tiny detail reflected the best of their love. That meant a custom, hand-painted invitation suite by the bride's aunt, vintage handkerchiefs for happy tears, love quote table markers, an antique typewriter as a guest book, and of course, personalized vows. As soon as the groom began tearfully reciting his vows, it became clear the wedding would center around the deeply personal, emotional promises--and inspire the most beautiful wedding video. Not a single eye was dry after the couple completed their pledges to each other, words that they continue to whisper together even duringndifficult times. Despite the threat of a torrential downpour, the luscious, flower woven arch flying off the balcony, and the groom forgetting his hair product the Dunbar wedding was truly the perfect day. The diffuse sunlight streaming through the lush greenery that surrounds picturesque Laurel Hall illuminated the dreamy, moody floral palette and twinkled in the bride's eye. Their first dance, to Dustin Kensrue's Pistol fell just as golden hour exploded into the sky. And the sun set just as the bride's father blessed the couple with a traditional Scottish poem. It's hard to imagine a wedding more perfect and more perfectly suited to the bride and groom.
