Love in Full Bloom: The Wedding of Elle Leonsis & Toby Helme - Washington Life Magazine
Tuesday, April 16, 2019The bride’s father played a memorable role, serenading the couple alongside his college roommate with a surprise rendition of “Banana Boat Song.” The true pièce de résistance – the Stanley Cup – was displayed during cocktail hour and the bride watched the man of her dreams pop a magnum bottle of champagne right into it while friends and family looked on.After hours of sipping champagne and drinking Guinness, there also needs to be … chili dogs. In true Washington fashion, the late night snack was provided by the legendary Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street NW. “It was unreal,” Leonsis says, “seeing the older Brits try and love chili dogs for the first time. Such a great memory.” And that, perhaps, is a different sonnet for another day.NOTABLE GUESTS:José and Patricia Andrés, Rorbert Altman and Lynda Carter, Mark and Sally Ein, Don Graham and Amanda Bennett, Arthur and Hannah Weiland Guinness, Mark and Judy Lerner, John and Gina Carlson, The Right Honourable James Stourton, and Chris and Lorraine Wallace.DETAILSBride’s First Dress: Romona Keveza Second Dress: Elie Saab Wedding Planner: Arney Walker Caterer: Susan Gage Cake: Fleur and Flour Flowers: Victoria Clausen Music Coordinator: Elan Artists Linens: Fermoie DJ: Chris Styles Photographer: Aaron DelesieShare this:Related ... http://washingtonlife.com/2019/04/05/love-in-full-bloom-the-wedding-of-elle-leonsis-toby-helme/
