After connecting on match.com, Fallon and Bill met for a drink in April 2009. Although she was initially skeptical about online dating, the pair hit it off instantly. An in-person meeting for a quick drink turned into a five-hour conversation that ended only because the bar closed. By October, Bill was spreading a blanket for a picnic, uncorking a bottle of wine, reciting a love letter he crafted, and asking Fallon to marry him. “It just felt right,” she says.
Fallon chose to return to her hometown of Duxbury, Massachusetts, to tie the knot. An ocean-side estate across the street from Fallon’s childhood home was the perfect setting to celebrate the couple’s love of the outdoors amidst their favorite colors of green and blue

Through three seasons of working together in New York on the television show “Gossip Girl,” the series’ assistant location manager, Abby Eon, and location scout, Colby Shrefler, fell in love. The couple then set out on a personal location-scouting mission: the perfect venue for their wedding, hoping to treat Colby’s Pittsburgh-based family and friends to a taste of Abby’s home state of Maine. We scoured and scoured the area,” says Abby, “looking for two things— an awesome view and a place where people could stay on site and not have to drive the day of the wedding.” Abby knew Point Lookout Resort in Northport, Maine, was just that spot the minute she saw the sweep of forest in one direction, the panoramic view of the ocean in the other, and a sprinkling of rustic cabins nestled in the woods.
