Even though they weren’t our first featured couple, antibrideKERRI and antigroomSCOTT were our first client of the season! If you’ve seen our Facebook, we were raving about Kerri’s pink cowboy boots (scroll through the photos, don’t be lazy!) Most of all, we’re happy to say we have kept in touch with them and consider them a very big part of our growing lolagraceFAMILY. Soon we will be posting profiles on our lolagraceENGAGED couples – for now, read all about the awesome time we had at the Endicott Estate. XOXO Your fab friends at lolagraceEVENTS!
The Facts! antibrideKERRI (Malizia Wimberly <–YAY!!!!!), do I have to answer my age?? It’s pretty scary… let’s just say that I am over 30 – sign? slippery when wet, umm I mean sagittarius.. Occupation: Freelance graphic designer, Blogger, Bartender Hometown: Framingham, MA ————————————————————————————————————- antigroomSCOTT, 39 and getting younger, gemini! Occupation: Analyst @ State Street Bank and Trust Hometown: a bit of a nomad, Lexington, MA / Jaffrey, NH / Kitchner, Ontario ————————————————————————————————————- Wedding Date: April 21, 2012 Location: Endicott Estate in Dedham, MA How was the honeymoon + where did you go? Mother Fucking Amazing! We flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a night, then cruised to ST. Thomas, Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts, St Maartin, then over night again in San Juan. Sea turtles, waterfalls, cheap beer, smuggled rum, local breakfast, zip lining, fresh coconuts & mangos, sunburned in the Caribbean sun, lizards, and lots of Mr. & Mrs. time… It was perfect. Best wedding gift you received? It wasn’t so much the gift, it was the heartfelt words in the card that went along with it. My little cousin (who isn’t so little at 22) wrote the most loving things to us in the card that companied her gift. Out of everything that we generously received, her card was the most amazing gift to us. Favorite part about being married? That he’s stuck with me and I’m stuck with him. Why did you choose lolagraceEVENTS? For me, it was love at first phone call. I felt like I was having a conversation with myself on the phone when I first spoke with Rachael. I instantly clicked with her, and it is by far the best money I spent on our wedding. Her and the lolagraceTEAM made it all happen. Rachael was the glue that held all of my ideas, thoughts, wants, dreams, and the entire day together. What was the best part of working with the lolagraceTEAM? That it didn’t feel like I was “working “ with anyone. We just had conversations about the wedding and Rachael just got it. What surprised you most about the planning experience? That I was a little more traditional on some things than I thought I was. It kind of freaked me out a bit! “Uhh… I just bought a veil? Seriosly a veil. OMG. Who. AM. I ???!!!!”(I actually had that conversation with one of my bridesmaids). Would you recommend a friend or family member to lolagraceEVENTS? Hell to the Yeah. You’re a fool if you go anywhere else. Seriously, a DAMN fool. After having been through the “antibride” experience, how would you explain it to other brides-to-be? Being an antibride means something different to everyone. It means doing things your way. Whether it’s wearing a black polka dot dress, having your friend officiate, or wearing the pink cowboy boots that your very traditional mother will shake her head at you (yup, that was me)… It’s doing what YOU want. It’s saying NO to the cookie cutter wedding crap that is out there. It’s being yourself, and expressing your commitments and love to each other however you two see fit. Did you hold back on the wedding kiss? We didn’t have any porn movie tongue at our wedding, but we didn’t give each other a prudish peck either. Somewhere right in the middle was what we did 🙂 How many wedding pictures did you frame? Umm, actually none so far. (Hey I just changed my name a month ago!) We really should get on that, eh? * For a full list of vendor details, please contact hi@lolagraceEVENTS.com
