from the beach to domo dolls to folding tissues in anticipation for the tears later on, this one has myra and cary written all over it. they met ten years ago in film school back in new york and have been engaged for six years so this has been a long time coming. for them, it was about celebrating everything they’ve shared together these past ten years along with what’s to come in the future. and for us, it was about tying cary and myra’s story into their wedding film.

there’s so much of them in this piece so i hope you get a better sense of who they are after watching it. they are an intimate couple and chose to have an intimate wedding with just fifty of their closest friends and family. in the film you can see cary packing a tea set, which was later used during the ceremony, for a simple but meaningful tea ceremony between just the two of them, signifying their commitment to each other.

being film school graduates they are also a bit geeky — cary is an editor who’s done some things for the discovery and history channels (we had lots to chat about when we met for coffee) and myra works in the gaming industry. so instead of a traditional ring pillow, they used pink and brown domo dolls from a series of japanese video games and you can see them throughout the morning as cary prepped to leave the house. they are also very into comic books. apparently before the wedding he had mentioned that he wanted to get some batman cufflinks for the wedding, but myra had already bought him a set of cufflinks as a surprise wedding gift so she had to convince cary that he didn’t need them. while it would have been totally rad to sport batman attire, cary still loved his gift.

and then there’s the kleenex. all morning there was talk in the girls’ room about whether or not cary will cry. after all, they’ve been together for so long and everything is finally coming together but even myra wasn’t sure how emotional they will get. i’ll let the film say the rest but one thing is for sure, they’ve made a home together and it will always be there.
