It was a big Baldwin bash in upstate New York over Labor Day weekend. Alaia Baldwin, the eldest daughter of Stephen and Kennya Baldwin, married Andrew Aronow on September 2, at famed Hudson Valley restaurant and venue Blue Hill at Stone Barns—and the wedding was naturally a dedicated family affair.
The bride’s younger sister, model of the moment Hailey Baldwin, and her cousin Ireland Baldwin served as bridesmaids in the countryside nuptials. Other famous guests included Christie Brinkley and her equally beautiful brood. The bride took to Instagram following the ceremony to reflect back on her love story with Aronow. Interestingly enough, the pair first connected through the Brinkley family.
“On January 2, 2014 on the moonlit beach of Parrot Cay our journey began with our first kiss. On May 2, 2014 you asked me to be your girlfriend. And now, on September 2, 2017, I married the man I fell in love with the first time I laid eyes on him in Parrot Cay,” Alaia wrote on Instagram on Monday, September 4. “Even if I didn’t want to, I could never stop falling in love with you. Thank you to everyone involved on this journey, especially @christiebrinkley for inviting me to Parrot Cay and sending me pictures of ‘this cute guy playing soccer’ and to @alexarayjoelfor inviting him to your birthday party where we first met. Thank you @sailorbrinkleycook for holding actual conversations while I stood there speechless by the man before me.”
The bride also graciously thanked her sibling, Hailey, for being an attentive member of the bridal party. “Thank you @haileybaldwin for stepping up and slaying as my maid of honor,” she added in the same caption before ending it with a shout-out to her husband. “It’s you and me for life, @andrewaronow. My husband, my love. #MRANDMRSARONOW,” she wrote.
