Lu & Alena’s August Wedding

On the second weekend in August, we welcomed Alena’s family from Pittsburgh and Lu’s family from Argentina so we could all properly celebrate the union of two wonderful community members. Alena held a vibrant bouquet of flowers prepared by Lia, Lu wore a bespoke linen suit tailored by our friend Shawn, and Zile did the couple’s lovely wedding makeup. Our choir sang, and Makiko and her mom played music during the ceremony, which was officiated by Mimi and translated to Spanish by Laura. Finally, we all enjoyed a tiered cake that was created by our friend SaraMae while we gathered on our grounds that were so meticulously groomed by members of the Estate Crew. Our community came together in such a show of love as Lu and Alena embarked on their beautiful life together. We wish them the very best!
