Maggie & John
Share in the cherished memories of the Rinaldis’ wedding—a celebration brimming with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Our radiant bride Maggie found her dream gown at the iconic Kleinfeld’s Bridal Salon in New York City.
“Growing up in a beach town of Connecticut, it was always my dream to be married there, getting ready at my childhood home and soaking up the salty summer air.
Set along the coast of Westport Connecticut, sits the Inn at Longshore. A coastal bed and breakfast, built in the 17th century and was originally a private estate turned country club. It was the most perfect venue for me to marry the love of my life, John. Being together for nearly 10 years and a history teacher himself it wasn't in the cards for him to say no to this perfect venue!”-Maggie
Tell us about your wedding: 8/5/23, Our wedding day was a picture perfect day! Being in the month of August, we were worried of the weather/humidity, but mother nature showed up with the calmest and coolest of days. Our ceremony was held on the back lawn of the Inn, overlooking the beautiful coast. We said 'i do' in front of 175 of our closet friends and family (coming from both very large Italian families).
I chose my dress because: Trying on wedding dresses can be an emotional rollercoaster but when I tried on my dress by Anna Campbell, I felt like it was made for my body. Not only was it breathtakingly classic and stunning but the way I could move and breath in it, made even the most daunting task seem manageable.I felt picture perfect in my dress, it was timeless and classic. I wish I could wear it everyday!!!
Our cocktail hour was held on the back patio where we served up signature his and her drinks with a speciality cocktail for our chocolate lab, Dempsey. Passed hors d'oeuvres included mini lobster rolls, crispy salmon rice, and a pizza station! All of our favorites, leaving no stone unturned!
Moving inside the historic Inn for the reception, we danced our first dance to "Growing Old With You" by Restless Road.
Dancing the night away in the most beautiful of gowns, by none other then the magnificent, Anna Campbell.
