At the Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires, Kiki and Dan skipped the formality of a traditional wedding and instead hosted a weekend-long summer celebration of partnership, where friends lounged on porches, fanned themselves in the late afternoon light, and wandered barefoot between cottages and dock as if love were simply part of the landscape. Their “puffin party,” inspired by a year spent living on a boat together and collecting the birds in plush and pin form, unfolded in a wash of colorful prints and bird-patterned dresses, culminating in a lakeside ceremony and a Saturday night dance floor that felt equal parts disco, family reunion, and slightly glamorous sleepaway camp. By sunset they were stretched out on the dock with the water turning silver around them, guests in bright florals lifting them into laughter and wild dance circles under string lights, proving that when you gather your communities in one place and call it a party instead of a production, the commitment somehow feels even bigger.
