Seaside Classic

Small white chapels, supper at the club, and a wedding that keeps perfect time.

The World

Ceremony at four, cocktails at six, and a night that ends right on time.

A small white chapel for the ceremony, then the seaside club the family has belonged to for three generations. White tents on the lawn, blue-and-white china, brass, and the four-o'clock light that photographs itself. A four-piece band plays through dinner; the cocktails arrive at six and by eleven the night is done, not because anyone is tired, but because that is the order of things. Seaside Classic is for the couple who find their freedom in the form.
