FIELD DREAMS of AS TOLD TO KATE STUKENBERG. PHOTOGRAPHY BROOKE SCHWAB. H ELLO. i am a girl named james, married to a boy named aubrey. This is how James KicinskiMcCoy's blog, bleubirdblog.com, begins. James and Aubrey McCoy's wedding was as perfectly pitched as her blog is charming and honest. Crafted more than produced, tender more than fashionable, James' wedding to Aubrey took place in a field of dreams, one might say. The Bride. "I chose two dresses — one for the ceremony, and one for the reception. They were both so me, delicate and vintage inspired. Dress and headpiece were both from BHLDN." – James The Groom. Forage custom-made Aubrey's skinny tie. The jeans are by Black Corpus, and the blazer is by Buckler. Similar Forage ties at BHLDN. FIRST SIGHT. "I USED TO HAVE AN ONLINE VINTAGE SHOP AND , AUBREY WOULD HARASS ME VIA E-MAIL TO START CARRYING MEN'S CLOTHING, THEN IT TURNS OUT WE LIVED NEAR EACH OTHER (IN FLORIDA). LONG STORY SHORT, WE MET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CVS PARKING LOT — SO ROMANTIC. WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR FIVE YEARS." — JAMES Let's Celebrate. Local band Poor Pilate played during dinner, which was catered by Royers Café in Round Top and Bolo Pizza out of Austin brought the gourmet, woodfired pizza oven. Vows. "I was so nervous about my vows. After the fact, Aubrey told me he was, too. We both just winged it and spoke from the heart. There were tears — and I accidentally swore once during mine. Laughter and tears … There wasn't a dry eye in the house." – James Modern Family. "My ex-brother-in-law, Colin, officiated our wedding. Yes, my ex-husband's brother. We are all very close. It's a rare thing but very important to me." – James THE PROPOSAL. "AUBREY PLANNED A WEEKEND AWAY WITH FRIENDS AT A PRIVATE RANCH. HE ASKED ME TO BE HIS WIFE UNDER A BLANKET OF STARS. I SAID YES." — JAMES
