Following their multi-night wedding celebrations, Lizzy Harris and Miles Hammond marked their first morning as newlyweds with a dip in the ocean.
Though Lizzy Harris and Miles Hammond had been orbiting each other all their lives , it was only at the behest of a mutual friend, Addavail Coslett, that the now-married couple went on their first date in November of 2019. “I would have been the third set up of Addavail’s that ended up getting married,” Lizzy says. “The odds seemed in my favor!”
During the pandemic, the couple had relocated to Puerto Rico, a temporary move that soon became permanent: Caribbean island life proved the perfect reprieve after years on the isle of Manhattan. Original wedding plans of a ceremony at Temple Emanu-El followed by a reception at Restaurant Daniel were thwarted by the pandemic, so the two relocated their nuptials altogether.
With a couple of archival dresses and a custom after-party look from One/Of by Patricia Voto, Lizzy decided to go bespoke for her ceremony gown. After she had “pretty much tried on every dress from every dressmaker in New York,” her mother sent her a link to the website of Phillipa Lepley, the London-based bridal designer. “I somehow convinced her team to send me a sample of a dress similar to what I had envisioned to New York for me to try on,” Lizzy says.
On the Sunday of their wedding weekend at 3 p.m., guests gathered on the main lawn, which had been set for a ceremony with a chuppah that framed the ocean. Just after a well-timed walk down the aisle, rain started to fall. While Lizzy and Miles stood beneath their chuppah canopy, guests got one of their own via personal umbrellas that shielded them from the tropical drizzle.
