un-ironic hippie wedding in the hamptons...

They seem awfully pleased with themselves, as if they invented love and marriage.

Omg, the slideshow - the photo of the butterfly women in the pool. WTF?

They look so thrilled to be there. Ha!

I figured they'd be outfitted with butterfly wings, but no. It looks like they've been swarmed.

I get OP's point, but I'm shocked at how badly written the article is in terms of grammar and usage. Does Vogue not have an editor?

On point. Can't wait to see the concious uncoupling non-wedding silent disco (seriously?!) they will throw themselves in a few years. Maybe those butterflies will be replaced by caterpillars. Or pupas.

why does this make me so sad: sad that apparently burning man really is dead; sad that the comments make me laugh so hard when i'm trying to give up 'mean' satire; sad that 1%ers are so oblivious; sad that we are right back in the gilded age, without the fun shenanigans of prohibition, jazz, and art deco; sad that it feels like DC is filled with people like this now. i'm tired of this 1% society even though i'm in the 10%. isn't anybody down to earth anymore? brilliant writing, though.

D.C. ain't the Hamptons, honey.

"To ensure everyone followed the right path toward the ceremony structure, performance artists donning butterfly headdresses provided directions. Why butterflies, everyone asked? Lauren explained that she and Bobby had been moved by a Radiolab podcast about the transformation of the butterfly in chrysalis, which resonated with them in terms of the transformation that marriage would bring to their relationship."

Yikes, that article was painful to ready.

The obstinate in me reads "kimchi gastrique" and immediately plans a spite trip to McDonald's after the silent disco ends.

What an insufferable pair of twits.

my reaction exactly.

I'm envious, but only of the $ that allows them to live in that bubble. I'd have had cat performers, for starters.

It makes me feel like Jenny from the Block to ponder this for long. Ick.

“It truly was this Burning Man meets chic Hamptons garden soiree with Hawaiian bonfire and bluegrass music lovefest,”

It sounds like a clustereff.

I'm glad they got what they wanted, though- a downhome country wedding- married at her parent's house with her family members chipping in doing some of the planning and entertaining- I hope it helped them save some $!

Rarely has the phrase "more money than sense" been more appropriate

It was thoughtful of the groom's sister to travel to the wedding with a month-old baby. /sarcasm font

This was by far my favorite part. SO they're, like, deep.

I googled the family after this and was interested to see that the bride's dad family started out on the path to riches selling clothing in Cumberland MD. Since one of the slides mentions growing up in Maryland, I'm assuming that the bride spent some portion of her childhood there. I'd love to hear the reaction of some of the Cumberland locals to this spread. If you haven't been there, it's hard to imagine it as a cradle of wealth, though it clearly was at the turn of the century.
