Guests then enjoyed a seated dinner of slow-braised beef short rib — “which was amazing,” says Murphy — plus macadamia nut mahi mahi and a vegetarian option. “You can’t beat the food,” the bride says.
The party continued late into the night when guests headed inside to a ballroom where they danced and dined on chicken biscuits and cookie cake from the late-night food menu.

Murphy adds that one of the most special parts of their day was simply being around those they love.
