Lydia Pang, the global editorial design director at Nike HQ, and designer Roo Williams initially connected online, but not through the apps. They met on MySpace 12 years ago. “To be honest, we didn’t intend to ever get married,” Lydia says. “It wasn’t something we prioritized! But as we’ve gotten older, and experienced so much and been through so much, we felt like we deserved to celebrate our love and what we’ve achieved together.
Lydia and Roo are both visual creatives; they wanted their day to reflect their tastes and memories. “We had the ceremony in front of a dead tree, ate our favorite food, got tattoos, and named our tables after emo songs,” Lydia says. “I found art directing the whole day easy, effortless, and really fun.

Meanwhile, guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn by the river.
