The Whedon weddings seem to be the highlight of the season. Following the beautiful coverage of Amy Acker’s (Fred) wedding, InStyle Magazine's February issue follows suit with the nuptial celebration of Alyson Hannigan (Willow) to Alexis Denisof (Wesley). Keeping with the spirit of their characters, the complete wedding weekend included rainbows, Tibetan bells, and white parasols.
The bride wore a custom-made ivory satin gown with chantilly lace and bead overlay by Badgley Mischka while the groom sported a Hugo Boss suit. But wedding planner, Rob Smith of Laurels didn’t expect the couples sense of humor; Alyson desired a photo booth while Alexis wanted a trampoline so they could ‘jump for joy at being married’. Over 85 friends and family gathered for three days at the Two Bunch Palms Resort outside of Palm Springs, a location chosen as the first place the couple had ever gone together. Guests included fellow BtVS castmates Emma Caulfield (Anya) and Anthony Stewart Head (Giles).
The union, set in an outdoor ceremony on Saturday, October 11, 2003, was capped off with the two exchanging self-written vows via lakeside under two trees of intertwined branches. Alyson bet her father $5 he would cry walking her down the aisle, “At one point I said, ‘How are you doing?’ but when he handed me off to Alexis and Alexis hugged him, I won,” said Alyson. The couple danced to a sweet rendition of “Over the Rainbow” - Alexis proposed to Alyson under a rainbow in Napa Valley the previous December.
