When Mark Walsh proposed to Bryan Rafanelli after 30 years together, the romantic moment came with one condition: the marriage had to happen by the end of the year.
and his longtime partner, Mark Walsh, decided to make things official. “Mark proposed in early July of 2019, and his raw emotional desire to get married convinced me it was the most important thing in the world to him,” Bryan says. The proposal didn’t come without strings, though. “One of Mark’s conditions was that we had to get married before the end of the year.” The turnaround was quick, even for a seasoned event planner who counts the Clintons as frequent clients.
Bryan grew up in New England, and he had always spoken enthusiastically to his clients about September being the perfect time to get married on Cape Cod. “As the summer comes to an end, there is a vintage quality to the flowers and foliage on the Cape that I truly love,” he says. “I’d always admired my parents’ wedding. They had a morning service followed by lunch at my father’s mother’s home.
Originally the wedding was scheduled for Saturday, September 7, but Hurricane Dorian had other plans, and the event had to shift a day as a result. “I have a talented group of amazing planners and designers at my company,, and they handled all the logistics,” Bryan says. “I secretly asked two of my planners to help navigate the planning, but I insisted on doing the actual designing of the wedding myself and not asking my creative team for help.
