Bissy and Chalker's South Hamilton wedding was held at the home where Bissy and her two brothers grew up. Though this place is familiar, it was more of a destination wedding with guests flying in from across the United States and Bissy and Chalker traveling from Nairobi, Kenya, where she works as an oil painter and textile artist, and Chalker's work is in renewable energy.

They made their vows in the backyard, opened champagne bottles with a "saber," and unearthed a bottle of bourbon from the front yard with a shovel. They shared a meal, had meaningful conversations, and some planned and impromptu speeches throughout the night, and cut their wedding cake (also with a saber)! They wanted this to be a celebration of families coming together and included a freshly minted one-month-old and Bissy's grandmother, who is in her late 90s. It was a small gathering with unquestionable charm and a group of incredibly lovely people. Congratulations, Bissy and Chalker; I'm glad to have gotten to know you a little and am so happy for you!
