The inspiration was a non-wedding or, in the bride’s words: “a fabulous party hosted by an eccentric millionaire in the year 1959.”
Lisa Conn and Joe Wilson were on an MIT group trip to Iceland when he first caught her eye. “By the end of the weekend, I had developed a huge crush,” Lisa says. “I arrived early to the airport before our return flight, and secretly requested a seat change to sit next to an unsuspecting Joe. We talked the entire way back and started dating immediately.”
Lisa is originally from L.A., and she and Joe moved back there prior to their engagement. “We love the style, the energy, the people, and the history,” Lisa says. “Suddenly, it clicked—our wedding would be an ode to our home, Los Angeles, past and present.” At the start of the cocktail hour Friday night, Lisa escaped to a private room where her veil and bouquet of white roses were waiting. “Our wedding planner brought my parents to me,” Lisa says. “I’ll never forget the looks on their faces when they saw me in that veil: completely surprised and full of love. We had kept the secret from everyone, including them.”
The couple said their vows poolside at sunset—on Sunset Blvd—under the Tower’s signature striped umbrellas and palm trees. After the big kiss, guests tossed lavender while the newlyweds exited as husband and wife to Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.” “I felt completely blissed out,” Lisa says. “I’m surprised that I didn’t cry as I’m generally a rather emotional person. I was so nervous all day—no one knew the ceremony was about to happen—but as soon as I saw Joe, I was calm. We held hands tightly and smiled at each other, breaking out into a quiet laughter as each of us remembered that this was really happening. In our officiant’s remarks, he quoted a friend who said: ‘Joe is an anchor, Lisa a kite.
