Caryn and Trilby were married on a brisk, beautiful spring day at Chelsea Piers.
Caryn shares, “Our wedding day was exactly what I had hoped for, minus the cold temperature and bitter winds. Thankfully the venue was beautifully sunlit. Our ultimate goal was for people to be themselves and to have fun. We chose a playful, whimsical theme with colorful paper flowers from an Etsy designer, Kirsten Hausman (flowerthyme), and table confetti made in the design of things we love, like stars, arrows and dragonflies. We had only one request of our bride’s people, that they wear converse sneakers.
I have an arrow tattoo, which was especially meaningful to me on my wedding day. I have no family support and have faced a difficult journey learning to follow my heart despite what my family might think. Kasey Musgraves has a song called “Follow Your Arrow” which inspired my tattoo. On my wedding day, I definitely led with my heart and followed my arrow right to my beautiful bride.
I will never forget all the laughter and joyous celebration that occurred. Without the support of my family, it was so incredible to be enveloped in the abounding love of friends who are family. I am beyond happy to be married to my best friend and I look forward to a life of whimsy and unending love.”
Trilby shares, “Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. The weather was windy but the blue sky and shining sun made up for the chilly temperature. The decorations added so much color to an already beautiful room and the view from the many windows was magnificent. Our bride’s people also added an assortment of rainbow colors with their matching dresses, sneakers, and ties. Caryn chose teal as her accent color and I chose purple. I have a tattoo of a tree on my arm with stars instead of leaves. They are in shades of purple and teal, which represents the colors we both love.
It was quite amazing to me to see so many people at our wedding who love us and support us completely. They kept coming up to us all through the evening saying how beautiful the ceremony was and how heartfelt the vows were. The amount of love in that room seemed endless. I am ecstatic that I am married to the love of my life and I look forward to continually celebrating this love with my beautiful bride by my side.”
The ceremony was held at Chelsea Piers Sunset Terrace.
