Though Rebecca, a fashion and beauty editor at Cosmopolitan, and Todd, a real estate owner and developer, are both Manhattan based, they treated their Bridgehampton, New York nuptials as a destination wedding. To kick off their festivities, they hosted a lively rehearsal dinner on Thursday night filled with fun speeches, drinking, and dancing.

The couple's planner, Jennifer Zabinski of The Wedding Library, helped them organize a beautiful meal, attended by family and bridal-party members, at Blue Parrot, a low-key Mexican restaurant in East Hampton, New York.

Photos of Rebecca and Todd and their loved ones were clipped onto clotheslines strung around the room.

After dinner, friends gave speeches and toasted the happy couple.

Guests were given tote bag favors containing Fouta towels from St. Tropez, a Pro Kadima set embellished with the couple's monogram, Alternative Apparel hooded sweatshirts, Mecox Bay Dairy cheese, Halsey Apple Orchard jam, and a baguette from Loaves and Fishes.

The couple's monogram, calligraphed by Bernard Maisner, was silk-screened onto the backs of the sweatshirts for an added personal touch.

Todd and Rebecca find a quiet moment amidst the festivities.

Rebecca had a cake prepared for her maid of honor, who celebrated her birthday that night.
