Greetings!

 

A Chinese Proverb says, "Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking." In the two real wedding stories featured this week, it is clear that these new couples have that unspoken communication of love, happiness and joy reflected in the details of the day.

Katie Leeber & Justin Parascandolo: Hotel Viking   

Had Katie Leeber realized Justin Parascandolo made big plans to propose at dinner that evening, she would not have made him wait so long. Still, she happily accepted and the Portsmouth natives planned to marry on the island where they grew up. "We are lucky enough to call Newport home, and we had to have such a special moment in our lives celebrated here," the bride says.

Tesha Prashad & David Darshan   
Castle Hill Inn

An aisle of yellow and red rose petals led Tesha Prashad to the lavish mandap draped in sunset orange with carnation garlands where she would exchange vows with David Darshan. On the sprawling lawn of Castle Hill Inn overlooking Narragansett Bay, 75 loved ones watched as the couple placed their right hands over each other's hearts during a traditional Hindu ceremony to affirm their devotion. "Just being on the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean took our breath away," the bride says, and when the only available date was exactly a year from their engagement, "This made it seem as though it was written in the stars to have our wedding at Castle Hill."
