When a group of good-looking Swedes walked in just back from a Springsteen concert, she zeroed in on Thomas Rådberg and stuck out her hand. "She had my attention," said Thomas, a Stockholmer, investment banker, and U.K. transplant. "The next thing we knew, it was 3 A.M., and they were turning the lights on," Molly said. In June 2011, Thomas proposed during a holiday in the swedish town of Tylösand, and fifteen months later, they crossed the pond for a three-night bash in Newport, Rhode Island. 01 of 18 Gray's Gardens Jonathan Canlas Photography "Our setting needed to have an element of water," says Molly.
