There was a time when wedding cakes came in two flavors…chocolate or vanilla. This was the same time that white or chocolate icing found their way on to every single wedding cake there was to be seen. Thankfully, however, those days of boring wedding cakes are over and gone.

Michelle and Rory describe themselves as devoted teammates. Says the bride, “though born and raised 3,000 miles apart, we quickly realized we had values and dreams in common, which grew into a relationship that can best be described as easy, organic, happy and truly loving.” Michelle and Rory were married on May 24, 2013 at the beautiful Castle Hill Inn in Newport. As the New York Times says, it’s “quite simply, the best spot in town,” and we couldn’t agree more.

Tita and Mike were married at the beautiful Belle Mer, in Newport, RI. Being one of the most modern Newport wedding venues, Belle Mere lent itself perfectly to their inspiration for the day: “ocean, flowers, and fun”.

Plus, it was great for some truly unique photos! Ocean? Check. Fun? Definitely check! Flowers? Check (thanks to Tita!) Would you believe that Tita did all the floral designing and arranging herself?

Ladies, I am sure you are all on the look out for songs to use throughout your festivities, especially for the untouchable first dance. Well, I think I have found one of the best and most beautiful that 2013 has thus far offered to us. Its called “Golden” by Lady Antebellum.

So here is another song you have now stumbled upon in the search- add it to your long list of maybes. -Em
