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. —Paula Rackow
