The stunning photos are the work of Madison-based photographer Jennifer McCarty.
I couldn’t resist sharing the gorgeous photos of my dear friend & college roommate Rachel’s recent nuptials to her longtime (and bi-continental) love, Mus. Short for “Mustafa,” but affectionately known as “Moosie” or – my personal favorite – “Moooo-FASAAAAAA.” They met over 5 years ago in Ibiza – she was there on a weekend vacation while studying at NYU Madrid, and he was an artist living the Canary Islands. Mary (college bestie) and I were in Spain visiting Rach the week after she’d met Mus, and I’d never in my life seen anyone so goo goo about a boy.
Those crazy kids stayed hopelessly devoted to one another – despite years of living on different continents – and tied the knot just a few short weeks ago in her homeland of Wisconsin. Look at the cake toppers Mus made (!)
When I was a little girl, I thought I wanted a big fat wedding at Versailles, with trumpets and fireworks and 500 people. And maybe a parade. But the older I get, the more I think – when I meet the boy who is 2 parts Jake Gyllenhal, 1 part Marky Mark, and 1 part Ryan Gosling – I would much rather do something simple and intimate, like my girl Rach did.
To the Bride & Groom: Wishing you both all the joy, laughter, love and happiness in the world for years to come.
Je vous aime bien!
It’s crazy how a weekend of sunny, warm temps can turn me into a giddy girl. Yesterday = tennis, sunset dinner with pals on the beach in San Diego followed by an engagement party. So fun.
