And you have to check out their gorgeous wedding video below from The Cana Family. The ending is epic!!

Marlene and David were recently married surrounded by family and friends in a beautiful, outdoor wedding in the East Hamptons. Marlene wore a sparkly and delicate Monique Lhuillier wedding dress appropriately named “Candy” with her dashing groom in Calvin Klein. They wed under a tree of soft, cascading orchid petals with a tented, outdoor wedding reception to follow. They ended the evening celebrating with sky lanterns and an epic dip in the pool captured by The Cana Family.
