Flanked by her parents, with her mom dressed in traditional African attire, Toni greets her groom as 155 guests look on. The ballroom where the couple exchanged vows featured images of Neptune and "seaweed"-draped sconces.
Toni and Mo in Newport, RI
This couple celebrates with luxurious, African-spiced nuptials
No one could blame a bride and groom for feeling a little intimidated at the thought of getting married at Beechwood, the Newport, RI, mansion where Mrs. Astor gave her famous society balls. In the late 19th century it was, after all, the summertime epicenter for the upper crust. Fortunately, Boston residents Toni and Mo were unfazed by the building's ghosts, confident that they could create a summer splash all their own.
