Good fortune has followed the couple, who were lucky enough to meet as young teens in southwestern Connecticut, where they currently reside. While searching for venues, they were thrilled to come upon LionRock Farm in Sharon.

Their festivities centered around family and friends: Tommy’s sister presided over the ceremony, his brothers served as his best men, and Brenna’s mom was matron of honor. “We didn’t have an official wedding party, but we each had a group of friends come hang out pre-ceremony,” Brenna says. “It was extra special to be with all our childhood friends who have seen us grow up. It felt like a full-circle moment.”

“As soon as we drove up to LionRock we knew that was it,” Brenna says. “It’s perfectly manicured, but at the same time it feels warm and welcoming.”

The celebration emphasized cheerful summer colors. “We wanted the positivity and love we felt to come through in the colors,” says Brenna, whose only wardrobe instruction to her girlfriends was “elevated summer.” Brenna’s timeless dress is Harriette Gordon.
