“Carolin and Joe’s love story started with a serendipitous spark—she tagged along to a housewarming party he was hosting. Within seconds of meeting her, Joe jokingly asked her to marry him. That playful energy followed them all the way to their engagement on the dock outside the Wauwinet Hotel on Nantucket, one of their favorite places. In true fashion, Joe proposed with the ring box closed—Carolin said yes to the box before they both remembered to open it and actually put the ring on! Their wedding day in the Arizona desert was a joyful and unforgettable celebration, with friends and family flying in from near and far. Highlights included heartfelt vows, emotional speeches from their fathers, a champagne tower they adored but never quite made it to, and their tiny niece Sierra—affectionately called ‘Si Si’—who stole the show on the dance floor before retiring with her first baby hangover. From walking down the aisle to James Bond vibes and martinis everywhere, to chic table names and a second dress moment, their day was filled with meaningful, playful, and effortlessly cool moments that reflected them perfectly.”
