A Camp-Themed Wedding at a Lakeside Venue in West Virginia That Took Over 900 Days to Plan
Kate and Victoria met at a restaurant in the San Francisco Bay area in April of 2017; Victoria was the managing minority owner at the time and Kate was a regular diner. Eventually, they hit it off and became a couple. Two years later, in 2019, the duo took a trip to the Greek Islands. There, Victoria proposed over breakfast at their cliffside Airbnb. Though they took some time to soak up the engagement, they couple was excited to start planning their wedding. The first detail they needed to work out? Where they'd tie the knot. "Having lived in so many places across the country, both individually and as a couple, we've built a community of friends and family spread far and wide. With that in mind, we wanted to choose a location that was accessible both financially and geographically, making it easy for everyone to join us," the brides explain. "We also wanted a neutral setting—somewhere that wasn't anyone's hometown—so we could all come together, fully present, for the entire celebration." In the end, they decided to host a three-day wedding weekend with a 'family camp' theme at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia. 'We wanted everything to feel warm, natural, and beautiful, with the landscape providing a breathtaking backdrop for the weekend,' Kate says. On June 15, 2024, Kate and Victoria were joined by 84 guests for a ceremony in the resort's formal gardens followed by a lakeside reception. 'It was important to us that both the ceremony and reception venues were outdoors, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of West Virginia,' Kate says. They worked with Samantha Leenheer of House of Joy for over 900 days to create an immersive celebration that encouraged their loved ones to connect—planning shifts meant that the wedding was rescheduled a few times, but the brides say Samantha's support and ideas was their guiding light. "I'm pretty sure we were her longest-running clients!" Kate laughs. Read on to see the thoughtful details of their day, including the Y-shaped aisle and mixed-texture table settings, in the photos by Leslie Rodriguez Photography. Related: Nature Preserves and Summer Camps That Double as Wedding Venues Kate and Victoria's wedding invitation suite by Isidore and Augustine contained a formal invite, RSVP card, and details enclosures that highlighted other events, accommodations, and transportation. Scalloped edges, floral-lined envelopes, and a custom wax seal helped to personalize the paper goods. As guests arrived for the weekend of events, they were offered welcome bags packed with a variety of different items. 'We created 'survival kit' welcome bags that included essentials like Advil, Liquid IV, maps, and even marshmallows for roasting, adding a playful nod to that original 'family camp' idea that started it all,' Kate says. The brides spent the morning getting ready with their wedding party, which included a mix of family members and close friends. Kate and Victoria wore matching white pajama sets with black piping and monogrammed initials, while the women of the wedding party wore pale blue pajamas and the men wore navy blue sets. Victoria wore a custom-designed ivory satin pantsuit by Teresa Eklund with Renee Grace Bridal, which featured a removable train—the style gave the bride-to-be the versatility she was looking for in her big-day fashion. 'I knew that I didn't want to wear a dress but wanted it to look like one,' she explains. The four piece look featured a plunging v-neck bodysuit with a standing-lapeled jacket with slit cuffs, sapphire buttons, and the removable train lined with sapphire satin. She accessorized with a pair of white kitten heels and Kate's late grandmother's necklace that matched the bracelet her bride-to-be chose to wear. On a busy wedding dress-shopping day, Kate finally tried on a charmeuse wedding dress with a scoop neckline and dramatic draped back by Justin Alexander and knew it was the one. Not only did she love the style, but she also felt the gown's monicker—which was the same as her maiden last name—was a fortuitous sign. She paired her gown with navy open-toed platform sandals to match her sapphire wedding rings, which served as her something blue. 'For my something old and something borrowed, I wore a vintage silver bracelet that belonged to my late grandmother and was passed down to my Aunt Marilyn,' Kate says. 'Victoria wore the matching necklace from my grandmother's collection, which now belongs to my mom, adding a meaningful touch to our day." Kate held a petite, organic arrangement of cream, mustard, and mauve flowers, including cosmos and zinnias, while Victoria held a white and cream bouquet of cosmos, roses, and greenery. Since both brides were heavily involved in planning the wedding, they wanted to set aside time for a special moment of surprise. 'Early on, we agreed to keep our dress shopping and design experiences a secret from each other, making our first look a fun and memorable moment to share,' Kate says. Their bridal party orchestrated their first look, driving them to the location, guiding them out of their cars and across the hillside. 'When we finally saw each other in our wedding dresses for the first time, there wasn't a dry eye in the group,' Victoria says. 'Everyone clapped, cried, and shared in the emotional moment, making it even more special for us.' The couple's wedding planner worked with the women in their wedding party to choose attire in a combination of different colors and prints to match the theme of the wedding. They held bouquets consisting of daisies, scabiosa, spray roses, blue thistle, and other textured blooms. The men in the wedding party wore navy blue suits with rust colored ties and pocket squares. The focal point of Kate and Victoria's ceremony was a deconstructed asymmetrical floral arch decorated with a collection of terracotta pots and plenty of textured florals. The arch was placed at the garden's entrance. Guests were dropped off by trolley and guided down a scenic garden path to the ceremony. 'Riding together, surrounded by laughter and conversation, felt like such a joyful and memorable way to bring everyone together before and after the festivities,' Kate says. The couple's wedding planner created a y-shaped aisle so that Kate and Victoria could walk down the aisle at the same time before joining each other in the middle and walking the rest of the aisle together. A four-string quartet played Coldplay's 'Fix You' as Kate walked down the aisle with her mom, Marie, and Victoria walked down the aisle with her dear friend, Phillip. The two exchanged personal vows, bringing tears to their guest's eyes. 'We both wrote our vows and had our ceremony officiated by one of our best friends, Nadia, which made it very personalized, intimate and authentic to who we are,' Victoria says. They happily recessed back up the aisle to Coldplay's 'Paradise." The couple partnered with Isidore and Augustine to create all their wedding-related paper, including the seating chart display. Three blue posters in white frames directed guests to their tables for dinner. The display was set on a table dressed in the same blue and white tablecloth that would soon be seen throughout the reception. A mix of different flowers in bud vases and candles at varying heights were the setup's perfect finishing touches. The string quartet continued to perform at the couple's cocktail hour, where they shifted to a more upbeat vibe with songs like Beyonce's 'Naughty Girl' and Madonna's 'Material Girl." 'For a touch of lighthearted fun, we even added 'Thong Song' by Sisqó,' Kate says. 'All of the songs were hand-selected by us, and for a few special tracks, we paid extra to have the quartet learn them just for the occasion.' The newlyweds served a lavender lemonade signature cocktail, which was made with butterfly pea tea, lavender syrup, and champagne in plastic champagne flutes customized with their names and wedding date. Kate and Victoria's reception took place beneath an elevated tent where guests took in views of the lake. To give the space a warmer, more inviting feeling, the tent's canopy and poles were covered with taupe draping. A mix of long rectangular tables and round tables were arranged throughout the space, then dressed with a variety of different tablecloths. 'Mixing the linens up in the tent made it more interesting for guests,' Kate says. 'We used a mix of a blue linen with a wave detail and then a blue with a leaf motif.' The table numbers matched the invitation envelope liners and the centerpiece arrangements included cream, mustard, mauve, and blue florals, including dahlias, ranunculus, and thistle, among others, with organic greenery in terracotta and stone pots. 'A favorite part of the reception design were the place settings,' Victoria says. 'Our designer found the perfect copper colored charger with these modern matte green and cream plates.' To prioritize the guest experience, a seating area featuring tan and rust couches and chairs on woven natural fiber rugs was set up during the reception. 'The lounge provided the perfect spot to watch the sunset and see the view,' Kate says. 'As the sun set, we wanted to keep with those quintessential summer bistro lights and brought those into the tent lighting.' The newlyweds shared their first dance to 'Groove Me' by King Floyd. Then, they played 'Brown Eyed Girl' by Van Morrison for a special parent-child dance. Guests enjoyed a dessert spread of brownies and lemon bars; sliders were served as late-night snacks. DJ Dayna Sol kept the dance floor packed by playing pop classics from the 80s before shifting to EDM tracks later in the evening. To couples currently planning weddings, Kate and Victoria recommend focusing on what matters to you as a couple and ignoring the latest trends or other people's expectations. 'Prioritize the moments and details that reflect who you are and bring you joy. And when things inevitably don't go exactly as planned—because they won't—find the humor in it," the say.

William and Kate ‘Keen to Pull Back a Little' and Enjoy Time Together After Cancer Recovery
and Kate Middleton are more in love than ever these days as they get ready to become king and queen, and a source exclusively tells Life & Style they've been granted permission from ailing King Charles to take more time off in order to enjoy the princess' rebounding health with as little pressure on them as possible. 'William really stepped up during Kate's illness. He took on so many extra duties even in the midst of dealing with a sick wife,' the insider says. 'It's what had to be done, and he got on with it, but it certainly took a huge toll.' The Princess of Wales, 43, recently bounced back from a terrible bout with cancer throughout most of 2024. She was admitted to the hospital for "planned abdominal surgery' in January that year, though details at the time were scarce and the Palace said she would be off her feat and out of the public eye until at least Easter. "She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private,' the Crown said at the time. William, 42, took up public duties in February, appearing alone at several functions throughout the spring. A strange incident concerning an altered photo published on British Mother's Day in March led to intense speculation — and even quite a bit of criticism — but later that month she gave an update and announced her cancer diagnosis, putting the matter to bed as royal watchers around the world shared their sympathies. After a successful round of chemotherapy, she reappeared for the first time in June looking healthy and from then on has been slowly returning to full duties. 'Now that she's feeling better and the constant fear of losing her has eased off, William's big focus has been on making the most of their time and this second chance at life together,' the insider reveals. 'He's spoken to his father and gotten the go-ahead to tone down the frenetic pace, Charles doesn't want to see William burn out and he certainly doesn't want to overload Kate when she's still fragile.' The King, 76, has been dealing with his own health woes since announcing he's also undergoing chemotherapy in February 2024, with the source adding, 'No doubt Charles' own battle with cancer has made him especially sensitive to what Kate has gone through.' With that understanding, 'He's told her and William to take whatever time they need. They won't go overboard but they are very keen to pull back a little so they can focus on each other more. That means more romantic dinners, more long walks and more holidays.' 'They're mapping out summer plans right now, with the usual family trips to Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly, but they're also looking to take a romantic holiday just the two of them and talking about going back to the Seychelles where they honeymooned.'

The 10 Best Songs From Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter' Series: Critic's Picks
It's officially Lil Wayne week. Weezy is set to return with the sixth installment of arguably rap's most decorated album series with Tha Carter VI arriving on Friday (June 6). More from Billboard Fuerza Regida's JOP, Gabito Ballesteros & Lupillo Rivera Join 'Pase a la Fama' TV Show Jamie Foxx Has One Question For Sean Combs in Midst of N.Y. Racketeering Trial: 'Why You So Nasty, Diddy?' All-American Rejects Frontman Tyson Ritter Joining OnlyFans to Continue Band's 'Disruptive' Streak Seven years after C5, Wayne hopes to make more history and add to his decorated legacy. The project's slated to be another star-studded affair with a range of rumored features from Miley Cyrus, Bono, MGK, Wyclef Jean, Andrea Bocelli and more. Three decades into a hall-of-fame career, Lil Wayne changed the aesthetic of rappers and the genre's sound in the 21st century. Take a look at all the 'Lil's in the rap game, the tattoos and dreadlocks, that can be attributed to Weezy's influence. His intoxicating Auto-Tune-laced rhymes and witty punchlines that seemingly never end ushered in a new archetype of rapper. 'Before I stepped into music, everyone looked a certain way and everyone did a certain thing. Look at me. Now look at music. They all look like me,' he said in 2020. 'I love it.' At the end of every concert, Lil Wayne expresses gratitude to his fans, saying, 'I ain't s–t without you.' But Weezy wouldn't but the artist he is without Tha Carter series—a staple in his discography and an artifact of hip-hop history. 'Welcome back hip-hop, I saved your life,' he raps on Tha Carter 3's 'Dr. Carter.' Lil Wayne's prime heading into C3 circa '07-'08 was something you had to see to believe. In a genre with goliaths like Kanye West, Jay-Z and Eminem dominating, Weezy stood tall at 5'5', in a league of his own. At times, his greatness was impossible to measure through sheer commercial numbers, with the droves of leaks and mixtape files being shared online between fans in a pre-streaming world. 'You scare me, man, every time you spit,' Ye told Wayne on stage at the 2008 BET Awards while referring to Weezy as his 'fiercest competition.' The New Orleans rap deity will take a bow and a well-deserved victory lap on Friday night when he celebrates Tha Carter VI's arrival with his first headlining solo show at Madison Square Garden. How is that possible? Billboard sifted through all five installments of Tha Carter and attempted to do the impossible, filing down a list to the 10 best tracks from the acclaimed series. (And a quick honorable mention to 'Mirror,' 'This is the Carter,' 'I Miss My Dawgs,' 'Got Money,' 'Mona Lisa,' 'Fly In' and 'Comfortable.') Weezy didn't waste any time getting busy on Tha Carter II, as he comes out of the gate guns blazing on opener 'Tha Mobb.' He flexes being a legend in the game even if he never released a song, and compares himself to being the ocean, while other rappers are mere tuna swimming around his domain. Being a basketball savant, there's even a shrewd reference to NBA veteran Bill Cartwright, who retired a decade prior to C2. Wayne could do it all. Wayne's torrid 2007 mixtape run and array of leaks that could be another rapper's best single flooded the market and set the table for Tha Carter III. Expectations couldn't be higher, and a scorching Weezy delivered a smash that radio could wrap its arms around featuring a lift from the late Static Major. 'Lollipop' is Wayne's lone song as a lead artist to top the Hot 100 and earned him a diamond plaque. Mannie Fresh helmed Tha Carter nearly exclusively behind the, boards as he supplied the jet fuel for every Cash Money artist to take off. Both MF's and Weezy's gifts are on full display with the twitchy 'Go DJ,' which notched Tunechi his first major solo hit and led the way to Wayne becoming the commercial titan he'd emerge as in the second half of the 2000s. '18, how I'm living?/ Youngin, show that Bentley,' he raps. Lil Wayne long believed he was the 'Best Rapper Alive,' and it wasn't long after Tha Carter II until the rest of the world started to catch up. Weezy flexes on the competition over an Iron Maiden interpolation, and uses clever wordplay to plant his championship flag in ground. 'Best Rapper Alive' went on to be a Wayne fan-favorite deep cut since the track was never made a single or had a video — but the New Orleans legend used the rest of the decade as his canvas to paint a masterpiece and lend credence to his bold claims. Drake gets called up to the big leagues with his Tha Carter series debut, and the 6 God makes it count. Drizzy handles chorus duties, exhaling over the smoky T-Minus production, which clears the lane for Wayne, who lights up the scoreboard to lead Young Angel and Young Lion to victory, with plenty of punchy one-liners. 'I tried to pay attention, but attention paid me/ Haters can't see me, nose-bleed seats,' he spews on the C4 standout. 'She Will' reached No. 3 on the Hot 100 and topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Wayne set the stage for C2 by setting off the alarms that he was gearing up for a hip-hop takeover with the blaring 'Fireman.' He put out the blazes of rhymers around him, but he would remain scorching for years to come. A pop-friendly hit in 2005, 'Fireman' cracked the Billboard Hot 100's top 40, peaking at No. 32. In the same vein as 'A Milli,' which was also produced by Bangladesh, Weezy lets the chopper sing without a chorus, and spins a hit out of his rapid-fire flow. '6 Foot 7 Foot' is filled with memorable bars, as Wayne somehow rhymes 'charisma' with 'vodka spritzer.' The feverish, Cory Gunz-assisted track set the bar for Tha Carter IV to close out 2010, and cracked the Hot 100's top 10. Only Lil Wayne's lyrical brilliance could turn the weather's seasons into his biggest haters. Weezy and Jay-Z had a competitive relationship, as they pushed each other's pen to greatness and metaphorically attempted to KO one another with every punch line. With Wayne at his peak, Hov walked into a [Young] lion's den, and Tunechi got the best of him on 'Mr. Carter' with home court advantage. A Carter series fan favorite, the 'Hustler Music/Money on My Mind' video aeshtetically defined the C2 era for Wayne, as nobody could forget Weezy spitting bars around the city in a pink camouflage Bape jacket and matching kicks. Wayne slows the pace down here, and his hazy flow does the rest. With a catchy chorus built around Weezy powering through life's obstacles to stack paper through any means, 'Hustler Musik' has aged about as well as any Wayne song over the years. Songs without choruses aren't supposed to be hits, but 'A Milli' finds Wayne leaving earth for three minutes with hard-hitting bar one after another. Who could forget the POV music video, following Weezy around a chaotic tour of the video set? Bangladesh's beat is still one of the hardest-hitting in modern hip-hop history, and 'What's a goon to a goblin' and 'You like a b—h with no a–, you ain't got s–t' are couplets that remain memorable staples of Weezy's repertoire to this day.
