Ali, from Clifton, Virginia, and Evan, from Fulton, Maryland, met through a mutual friend who set them up on a blind date. They met at a now-defunct speakeasy under Ghibellina, where she thought he was cute and sophisticated, and he couldn’t stop laughing at her clever, witty jokes. Five years lat er, they got engaged on a family vacation celebrating Ali’s 30th birthday in the Outer Banks.

Ali carried calla lilies down the aisle in a tailored version of her mother’s wedding dress that she says family in attendance recognized immediately, and at the reception, they say the 11-piece band’s “amazing performance” had everyone dancing. They toasted with French 76 and fall Enzoni signature cocktails, and for dessert, they sliced into a carrot cake. For the afterparty, they booked a room at the Live K Karaoke Bar a block away from the venue. One final surprise: actor Vince Vaughn crashed the wedding and took a photo with the newlyweds.
