Katie and Shawn. Dave and I had the pleasure of being introduced to them back in 2009. A mutual friend invited us to their home for a clam bake and martinis on their roof in Beacon Hill. Katie and I spent more time together that summer, feeding ourselves lots of wine and good stories. I've loved them both ever since.

This spring, we made the journey out to San Juan Capistrano, CA to see them get married.

Katie and Shawn have always known how to throw a party.

They love their friends, they love great food and drinks. Their wedding was the greatest party they've ever thrown.

In true fairy tale fashion, Shawn enlisted his Air Force comrades for the saber arch.

They were wed in a stunning Spanish-style Basilica. The priest is a dear friend of Katie's family, who have owned an estate nearby for many years.

The shin dig was perfectly curated; an homage to the 50's complete with old fashioned cocktails, art deco pieces, cigars and whiskey, and an AMAZING 7 piece band.

Katie, her mom and the lovely bridesmaids designed and created the center pieces. So luxurious.

Many, many well wishes to Katie and Shawn. <3 xoxo
