Brides

Best Man David Riordan and Maid of Honor Jill Watkins make their grand entrance down the dune face to the beach. The men wore untucked white shirts, khakis and aquamarine ties. Casey chose the color, also in Jill’s dress and her own sash, to match the color of the sea. The wedding took place in shirtsleeve weather, not an option in February back in Michigan.

Newlyweds Casey and Tucker followed by her sister Miranda Schneider, niece Brooke McCoy and attendants Jill and David.

For years, Casey’s family has vacationed on Topsail Island while visiting her aunt, Darcy LaFever of Hampstead. ‘It was so much fun, I loved the view, I loved the weather, and everyone’s so nice there,’ she said. And because she didn’t want ‘the stuffy hall wedding’ common in Michigan, she knew Topsail was the place. Also, Tucker ‘doesn’t like big crowds of people,’ so it made perfect sense to have a small, ceremony: An affordable destination wedding within easy driving distance for their closest releatives.
