The grooms wore custom Armani tuxes at this destination wedding on Necker Island. Go inside their big day here:
Wesley Vultaggio and Michael McCarty first struck up conversation at a Brooklyn apartment party in 2019, right before the pandemic. “We were both invited by friends of friends,” Wesley remembers. “If anyone knows me, I rarely go to a party like that. Michael lived in L.A. at that point and was only in town for work, so it was pure kismet that we crossed paths.”
With that initial spark in mind, Michael asked his friend to buddy up with Wesley so he could attempt to play it coy and keep it cool. “Wes and I danced the night away, and when I was getting ready to leave, I asked him if he wanted to get my number,” Michael remembers. “He said ‘nope!’ so I defeatedly headed towards the elevators to get out of there. I didn’t make it three steps before I was pulled back by Wesley saying he was just kidding and he would love to get my number.
The couple wanted an intimate destination wedding near the beach, and following plenty of research, they landed on Sir Richard Branson’s private islands Necker and Moskito in the British Virgin Islands. The year prior, Wesley had booked a 40th birthday trip to Moskito Island, but because of COVID, had to cancel—so the location was already on the couple’s radar.
In the lead-up to the wedding, somehow, Michael managed to keep the plan for the ceremony under wraps from Wesley. “It was pure magic,” Wesley says. “Michael planned the whole thing from start to finish and kept it a secret from me until the minute I walked down the aisle.” The black-tie ceremony began just as the sun started to set over the ocean, and the aesthetic was minimal, tropical, and masculine. “I wanted it to be the emotional peak of the weekend,” Michael says.
