Laura and Tim

Ten months after Tim popped the question to Laura in the middle of Grand Central Terminal, the pair wed on South Carolina's Kiawah Island Golf Resort, which--for the Manhattan couple--was a welcome escape from the bustle of the city. The island was a fitting choice for Laura and Tim, who had both vacationed there as kids. As they dreamed up their big day, the two brought in details from all chapters of their lives for a celebration that incorporated the best of the West Village with a dash of Southern comfort.
