Lilly and Kai are both from Brasil, but met and fell in love here in Rhode Island. Naturally they planned an Ocean State Belle Mer Island House wedding! Their guest list contained mostly international addresses; as most of their family and many of their friends live in Brasil. Needless to say, most of the wedding day dialogue was spoken in Portuguese. At first I found myself wishing for subtitles, but I quickly realized I didn’t actually need to know what anyone was saying! There was so much expression and emotion in the day that understanding every word was completely unnecessary. It was fun and refreshing to get carried away in the moment without being distracted by language. For example…

Lilly and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done at New Leaf Salon in Bristol. I think Lilly and her niece Isabella {the flower girl} are pretty excited about the glamorous result…

Como Bonito!

Lilly gave beautiful Tiffany necklaces to her bridesmaids. So thoughtful!

Todos devem ter um amiga como Lilly!Everyone was so surprised and excited!
