Marc and Xana’s love story reached its peak on a balmy August day in 2023 as they exchanged vows at their private home in Newport, Rhode Island. Their wedding was a celebration of coastal elegance, with every detail thoughtfully crafted to showcase the natural beauty of their oceanfront property and the timeless charm of Newport.

Set against the backdrop of rolling oceanfront property, Marc and Xana’s wedding transformed their home into a stunning venue. The coastal Newport style was evident throughout, with shades of blue, white, and natural accents creating a sense of seaside romance.

In a unique twist, Marc and Xana chose to self-officiate their ceremony, pronouncing themselves married in a heartfelt declaration of love. The ceremony, overlooking the end of Newport’s famed cliff walk, was punctuated by the boom of the sunset cannon, a nod to the couple’s love for their coastal surroundings.

Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed to cocktail hour with cold beverages and delicious hors d’oeuvres, soaking in the ocean views from the lawn. The festivities then moved under the tent, where Marc serenaded Xana with the starting verses of their first dance song, accompanied by her on guitar, before sharing their first dance as a married couple.

After a delectable dinner and several touching speeches, guests were treated to a spectacular fireworks display, lighting up the night sky in celebration of Marc and Xana’s love. The evening continued with dancing to the tunes of One Love band, creating unforgettable memories under the stars.

As the night wore on, the casual afterparty offered guests the chance to keep the party going while enjoying pizza from a local pizzeria and more beverages, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere that perfectly capped off the evening.

Marc and Xana’s wedding was a true reflection of their love for each other and their coastal surroundings. From the intimate ceremony overlooking the ocean to the lively celebrations under the stars, it was a the perfect day to say “I do!”
