cake, which was wheels of cheese stacked into a wedding cake. Short ribs starred as the main course. A berry Chantilly wedding cake was made by Cakes by Ron and was cut by the couple with Ethan’s sword. Also served was a bountiful dessert buffet that included chocolate chip cannoli, mini red velvet cupcakes, mini S'mores, macadamia chocolate tartlets, mini banana cream pies, mini cheese cakes and mini tiramisu martinis. The Kara Nally band played during the cocktail reception and Serenade of Souls was the reception band. The seating chart was on two giant mirrors. Molly’s dad, Michael, sabered a bottle of champagne to toast the happy couple. An after party was held at Michael’s Wine Cellar. All of the wedding guests were invited to join the couple on a post-wedding Royal Carribbean cruise to Georgetown and Cozumel to continue the celebration. Their parents are Michael and Terri Klauber and Mirta Matheu Klauber and Rich and Tina Biter. The couple will soon honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast of Italy and Southern France.

A Perfect Union Mackenzie Mudgett + Donald Longueuil Outdoor activities are central to the lives of Michael Saunders Realtor, Mackenzie Mudgett and Donald Longueuil, a partner at Scala Ventures, a venture capital firm based in Lugano, Switzerland. They first met at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston where she was rowing in the Princeton alumni boat, while Don, a graduate from Northeastern University, also a former rower, was there as a spectator. Though she was attending Wharton Business School in Philadelphia at the time and he was already working in Connecticut, they knew immediately they were meant for each other and made the long distant relationship work. While on a skiing trip to Vail, CO, Don proposed on a scenic overlook. Their wedding was performed at The Church of the Redeemer. The music was provided by the Redeemer choir, led by Ann Moe and the soloist was local star Adelaide Boedecker. Mackenzie’s wedding gown was a Vera Wang, bought in New York City and was a perfect match with Mackenzie’s personality - classic and professional on top, and then, almost unexpectedly, fun and party-ready on the bottom. The veil was a cathedral length Vera Wang. She wore coordinating Christian Louboutin shoes. Her something borrowed was a diamond bracelet from one of her best friends. The attendants also wore Vera Wang gowns. Champagne cocktails kicked off the reception at the Sarasota Yacht Club, which was an intimate and formal affair. The Kara Nally Band welcomed guests during the cocktail hour, and Rhythm Nation from Atlanta made sure that everyone rocked their best moves on the dance floor. Flowers were from Beneva Flowers. Maria Brady of Choreographed Events was the wedding planner. The elegant, contemporary, and chic evening was filled with love, laughter, and fond memories that ended with warm mini-donuts served on the dance floor. Their parents are William and Patricia Mudgett and Patricia Longueuil and Gary Longueuil. Their honeymoon kicked off in Seychelles where they snorkeled and relaxed and then it was on to Tanzania for two weeks on a traveling safari.
