In 2017, Sarah Heyward complained to her finest pal Natalie Berkus a few unhealthy date. Little did she know Natalie’s mom, Ria, was listening in. She eagerly promised Sarah that she’d discover somebody higher. Seems, she did: “Two weeks later Ria texted me saying she’d met somebody good and tall who lived in Venice,” Sarah says. His title? Aaron Auch.

Quickly after, the 2 met for blind date drinks on the restaurant Wallflower. Their chemistry between Sarah, a screenwriter for Lena Dunham’s Women, and Aaron, a TV and movie producer, was instantaneous.

Two years later, Aaron proposed to Sarah in Palm Springs. On their means again to Los Angeles, the couple stopped on the well-known Cabazon Dinosaurs. Within the mouth of the enormous Tyrannosaurus rex, they loved a “particular, albeit barely weird, second for simply the 2 of us earlier than calling our family and friends to share the information,” says Sarah.

With planning assist from Layne Kula of Penny Layne, the 2 held their Might 2022 wedding ceremony in Ojai, California. On Friday evening, they held a retro summer-camp-themed dinner on the close by Ojai Rancho Inn, the place desk numbers had been introduced as “bunk assignments” and company dined on made-to-order tacos. Sarah wore a L’Ezu costume in addition to gold-and-diamond constellation earrings—one for her zodiac signal and the opposite for Aaron’s.

On Saturday, they wed on the sprawling Ojai Ranch. Sarah wore a Costarellos costume that she describes as “a bit bit prairie woman, a bit bit Victorian” with an identical veil. For jewellery, she selected a moon-shaped stud of her sister’s—additionally her “one thing borrowed.”

Aaron, in the meantime, wore a burnt sienna swimsuit from City Outfitters. (The groom was decided to match the bride’s distinct aesthetic for the weekend, which Sara describes as “a ’70s desert dreamscape”.)

Sarah walked down the aisle to Arizona’s “Cross My Thoughts”, with their one-year-old daughter and “baby-of-honor” Jupiter in her arms. Surrounded by cacti and wild foliage, the couple mentioned their vows with the Topatopa Mountains as their backdrop.”We had been warned we would really feel overwhelmed or nervous, however we each felt extremely calm,” Sarah says of their ceremony. “Since we have already got a toddler collectively, it felt much less like a standard wedding ceremony and extra like we had been celebrating and honoring the little household we had already created.”

After cocktail hour, Aaron and Sarah held a “family-style farm-to-table feast” behind the property’s farmhouse. Sarah’s household carried out a music from Joseph and the Wonderful Technicolor Dreamcoat, with rewritten lyrics that instructed their love story. The evening hit an emotional pinnacle when Aaron’s sister, Abby, wrote a letter their mom had written to him earlier than she handed away. “Over that portion of the night our company had been laughing and crying in equal measure,” says Sarah.

In lieu of their first dance, Aaron and Sarah led everybody to the dance flooring with “Might I Have This Dance” by Francis and the Lights that includes Probability the Rapper. (Though not many individuals stopped to take a break, those that did might get playing cards learn by a tarot reader or an ice cream cone from a Mister Softee truck.)

Afterwards, they held an after-party at one in all Ojai Ranch Inn’s visitor cottages, which was remodeled right into a speakeasy full with a mezcal tasting and contemporary slices of pizza. “We wouldn’t change a factor,” Sarah says.
