david + caissie {part 1}

This Feature captured on October 30, 2011

i can't possibly cover the entire wedding in one post so this one is going to be a little series...

earlier this year caissie and david shared their love stories... they vary from eachother...this morning i'll share caissie's : )

'David and I first met in Philladelphia in the alley way by the Stage Door of The Merriam Theatre. I had just finished a performance of Hairpsray, and David was in town visiting his friend in the show. This mutual friend of ours had been telling me for months that she had the perfect guy for me, but I brushed it off because I was dating someone else. Well, David and I met for five minutes that night after the show, and I remember all five minutes. Unfortunately, I didn't see him for another nine months until I was back living in New York City. By then, a bunch of our mutual friends were on a mission to set us up. We kept 'bumping into each other' in bars after shows. His annual Halloween party was coming up - he'd notoriously pack a hundred people into his two bedroom apartment in the West Village - and I later found out he wouldn't send out the evite without getting my email address first. So he got it from a friend, and I rsvp'd yes. I stopped by very late after I got out of work, dressed up as hippie since I had enough in my closet to throw together a costume. David, on other hand was far more committed, and was dressed as an 80's gym buff in head to toe lycra. Brave man! He called me up a few days later to ask me out on a real date, on Halloween night. I agreed, but tried to cancel last minute because I had a big audition coming up. Poor guy, he was not impressed, but didn't tell me at the time. He charmingly convinced me to loosen up and go out for the evening, and thankfully, I did. We had our first date amidst the drunken crazies and gorgeous drag queens littering the streets of Greenwich Village at the famous New York City Halloween Parade in 2006. Five years later, on Halloween weekend, we'll be getting married in Miami. But this time we'll be dressed up as Bride and Groom...'

so this little love story brought the nwp team down to miami for caissie and david's 'love fest'...

what do they say...? it's good luck to have rain on the wedding day. at a one point during the day, i believe it was raining sideways... i bet that's extra good luck.

no worries though, ciassie and david booked the soho beach house for their wedding

and the suite was styled beautifully and the natural light coming in was amazing!

i loved this moment-we had arranged the dress for a picture and caissie came over to look at it and was so moved-sweet.
