our story
Elena was hosting an art show. Andrei was one of the vendors. He fell for her that night and asked everyone there how to get a hold of her.
He finally got her number and asked her on a date. The rest is history.
Six years later their friends are one blended group, and they are so excited to share the day with every one of you.

the good bits
Tap through the dayMarguerite sets up an easel by the white gate and paints the crowd as it arrives. The canvas comes home with us.
Lemonade, iced tea and a very good peach shrub, handed to you before you reach your seat.
Take a camera, take a picture, stick it in the book and write something we can read back in thirty years.
Shucked to order in the pear orchard, with mignonette and a lot of lemon.
Bocce, croquet and a ring toss that has caused arguments at two previous family weddings.
Three players from Kingston under the big pear tree. Requests welcome, within reason.
Long tables, big platters, pass everything to your left. No assigned seats and no head table.
Horns and all. They take requests, and you can leave yours on the reply form below.
Four tiers, olive oil and lemon, built by the baker who made Elena’s first birthday cake.
A burger van pulls into the field at eleven and stays until the last person gives up. Fries included, obviously.
Elena’s grandmother’s recipe, served on the back porch by people who have made it a hundred times.
Everybody out, everybody lit, one photograph, then the shuttle.
where to stay
Rooms held until May 1 under Varga PopEight minutes from the farm. The shuttle leaves from these front steps.

Leave the car overnightsay cheese
Whatever you shoot goes straight up on the barn wall, live, all night. Add yours and watch them land.
Not here yet? Tag them #VargaPop and they will find their way up.
Black tie optional. The lawn is soft, so flats or block heels.
If your invitation says "and guest", yes.
To the ceremony and cocktails. A sitter is at the farmhouse from 5:30.
Free in the lower hayfield, attended until one. Leave the car overnight.
Your presence is the present. If you insist, there is a fund for a week in Puglia.
By Saturday, May 1.
