From North Carolina to Château St Pierre de Serjac – Kelly + Rob

The bride and groom's outfits

The bride's outfit

Kelly : I wore a gown by Newhite purchased from Lovely Bride. I had a custom cathedral veil made in Vietnam, hand-stitched with white flowers and vines. She wore Aldo flats with beading, vintage jewelry from my mother, and detachable sleeves that gave the illusion of an outfit change for the reception. The designer of the dress is two sisters, which resonated with me because I have two sisters of my own. My goal was simple and relaxed elegance.

The groom's outfit 

Rob : I wore a very dark blue shawl collar tuxedo from Charles Tyrwhitt, a custom shirt, and velvet tuxedo slippers that read 'I Do,' gifted by Kelly for Valentine’s Day. I personalized my outfit further with vintage golf suspenders, cufflinks featuring Harper’s face, a Rolex gifted for his 30th. For the wedding, Kelly gifted me a vintage Hermès watch which I wore for the Welcome Party.

The outfits of the bridesmaids and groomsmen 

<em> Our sisters wore elegant garden-party mismatched dresses with small bouquets similar to mine. The groomsmen wore blue suits in coordinating tones. </em>

<em>Kelly’s best friends, who were not officially in the wedding party, and the flower girl had matching floral barrettes, prepared by Faustine, to wear in their hair. It was a beautiful touch and subtle coordination for the special women in my life. </em>

Their most moving memory

Rob : I was overwhelmed seeing Kelly walk down the aisle for the first time. Her vows moved me deeply and I still reflect on the love in her words.

Kelly : A special memory to me was during dinner when we took a pause and looked out at all of our incredible guests who traveled from so far to be there for us that night. during dinner and soaking up the love and support of people who had traveled from far away. Robert and I were touched by the love and support of our people just to celebrate our marriage. We also loved watching how our diverse circles of friends connected and formed new friendships throughout the weekend.

Another memorable moment : When the dance party started, our band because a medley with Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. Although we hadn’t told them beforehand, these are two musicians that the Goreckis listen to often and Kelly has had many dance parties in their living room over the years with Robert’s family. We hugged and danced together to songs that mean a lot to us. It was another unforgettable memory that bonded our new family.
