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

After four years in the making, Jorge Manuel launched his first collection of Haute Couture and prêt-a-porter gowns, the Etelvina collection, in 2008. The inspirations for his first collection were the important women that surrounded him and influenced his life. He took the abstract - their experiences, motivations, successes, personalities – and gave them life, and fluid, fabric form.

We are pleased to exclusively present to the Seacoast bride Jorge Manuel’s 2011 Nebula collection. Inspired by the constellations, these gowns are true bearers of the heart and soul of their designer.
