Like many modern love stories, this one began with two swipes, a match, and an instant connection—one that was soon tested when the pandemic brought them together under one roof. "A tale as old as time… We met on Hinge," Jamie Schneider, the senior beauty editor at Who What Wear, recalls of her meet-cute with her now husband, account executive at Morning Brew Isaac Chevron. "We had been dating for only a few months when the pandemic hit, and I headed to my parents' house in Texas for what I thought would be a two-week stint," she says. "Once we realized we would be sheltering in place for much longer, Isaac flew down, and we spent the first six months of our relationship sleeping in my childhood bedroom." Things got serious quickly, leading them to move in together shortly after their return to New York.

Four years later, Chevron proposed to Schneider on Mother's Day. "I was under the impression we were going to brunch with his family in Connecticut, so I was getting ready to head to Grand Central Station," Schneider says, reflecting on their engagement. "Isaac ran out to grab us coffees and a Mother's Day card from CVS but was actually setting up rose petals and champagne on our rooftop. I walked out of the bathroom to find a note on our dresser: 'When you're ready, meet me upstairs.' When I found him, we were both in tears before he could even drop to a knee. It was perfect."

Schneider was aware that an engagement was imminent—she had been involved in the ring-design process—but the moment still caught her completely off guard. "I genuinely had no idea he would propose that day—I didn't even have my nails done, if that tells you anything about my level of surprise," she says. "The night before [the engagement], Isaac wanted to make sure I stayed off my phone so I wouldn't check Find My Friends and notice that my parents' and siblings' locations were conveniently unavailable, so to the theater [to see Challengers] we went!" According to Schneider, Chevron was on edge the entire time, consumed by the question he was about to ask her. To this day, he still has no idea what happened in the movie," she jokes "I, of course, was completely oblivious to his internal spiral. Great movie!"

Soon after the proposal, the couple began planning their wedding, approaching every decision with purpose. They selected Texas—the place where their relationship grew—as the setting for their November 2025 celebration, and the Austin Proper Hotel as their venue. "Designed by Kelly Wearstler, it had a ballroom that didn't feel like a ballroom—a far cry from the cold, business-conference vibes I was afraid of—and it was a bonus that guests could stay on the property, since most of our guests were flying in from New York," she says.

The same sense of intention extended to the beauty and fashion details. Schneider approached her wedding look with a discerning eye, choosing Chloé's Atelier de Fleurs Cedrus Intense as her wedding-day perfume, a woody, musky scent with a touch of bohemian flair that complemented her custom bell-sleeved gown and her softly worn, loose waves. Read on to admire the handful of other meaningful details that made this wedding special.

"We hosted a Friday-night welcome dinner at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden in Austin. While the wedding would be indoors (I had enough pre-wedding jitters without throwing weather uncertainty into the mix!), we wanted to welcome everyone with an alfresco dinner party. November in Texas can be hit-or-miss, but we lucked out with the most gorgeous, 75-degree sunny day."

"Guests arrived at golden hour and were greeted by live-fire cooking from our dear friends at Firewild, who specialize in Texas-meets-Mediterranean fare. Everyone roamed the sculpture garden during cocktail hour with pomegranate margaritas in hand before we all sat for a family-style dinner at long, banquet-style tables."

"I wore the Grace Dress designed by Marta Martí. I wanted my look to match the ethereal vibe of the sculpture garden, and when my bridal stylist, Nicole Amarise, DM'ed me a photo of the dress, I was instantly obsessed. I adore the drop waist and sash attachment, which can be worn in so many different ways: long and flowing, draped from the crook of my elbow, wrapped around my shoulders, etc. The Marta Martí team is also incredible. They run an independent atelier in Barcelona, where each piece is hand-sewn and meticulously crafted. Even from our Zoom fitting, I could clearly see how dedicated they are to slow, purposeful fashion. The whole experience felt so couture. Isaac wore a chocolate brown Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit with a white Oxford and—the real star of the show—his tricolored Aimé Leon Dore penny loafers. We decided to tuck in a paisley pocket square—also from Ralph Lauren—at the last minute, which turned out to be the perfect finishing touch."

Details of the welcome dinner.

"For accessories, I wore Madamorpho's Pink Pointe Pumps, a gold Dolce & Gabbana bag sourced from eBay, and my late grandfather's Chopard watch. He was always dressed to the nines—I legitimately never saw him without a suit and tie—and I knew I wanted to incorporate his impeccable style into my wedding weekend. Before even having a dress, I knew I was going to wear that timepiece."

"My hair was inspired by Molly Gordon at the New York premiere of Oh, Hi. She had this half-up bun situation that looked so effortless, and my own hairstylist, Marisa Rose, replicated it perfectly."

"I didn't have bridesmaids—aside from my younger sister, who was my maid of honor—but I hosted a girls' brunch the morning of the wedding with my closest friends. To that, I wore a vintage 1930s mini slip underneath a long, antique dressing robe from Nicole's archive. I paired it with Sandy Liang Recital Socks and Manolo Blahnik mules sourced from eBay."

"The Manolo Blahniks were such a good find—the Victorian-brocade pattern and rainbow buckle embellishment felt so girly and fun."

"I kept my hair down and loose to maintain the boho effect. Effortless waves was the goal, which is actually the opposite of effortless for my normally 2c curls. Marisa understood the assignment, giving me the dreamy 'ghost bends' I craved. I typically don't wear much eye makeup, and when I do, I steer clear of jet-black pigments, which look harsh on my features. My makeup artist, Sophia Escobedo, used only brown liner and mascara, with pearly (not shimmery—there's a difference) eye shadow, a rosy-mauve lip, and a generous sweep of blush. The look felt really natural—so me, which is exactly how I wanted to look on the big day. It's easy to get caught up in what you think you 'should' be doing for wedding-day glam (va-va-voom lashes, spray tans, and the like), but I'm so glad I stuck with my gut."

WWW Weddings Tip: "If you can swing it, try to get all the planning done a week or two before the wedding. Obviously, little things may come up, but I was glad I had a few days to (try to) relax and soak in all the love."

"It's funny that the boho bride is very in right now because that's just always felt like me. Late '60s, early '70s references were all over my mood board. I knew I wanted a bell sleeve and an open back, and I absolutely loved lace, but all the lace options I tried on felt too capital-B bridal, if that makes sense. I think I tried on 25 dresses before deciding to ultimately go custom. Nicole connected me with Patricia Voto at One/Of, who sources deadstock fabric from luxury houses and creates the most beautiful, bespoke designs. She actually doesn't reproduce any of her pieces so that they remain completely one of a kind. I think that's what I loved most about One/Of—that and Voto's stunning showroom, which I genuinely want to live in. I wouldn't just be the first to wear the design; there won't ever be another one like it. It's precious, just like my relationship with Isaac."

WWW Weddings Tip: "I recommend finding your ceremony dress first before thinking about your other looks, unless you have a super-specific vision in mind for your after-party or rehearsal dinner. I was searching for all three at once, but I didn't feel comfortable buying anything when I wasn't sure what the ceremony vibe would be. Once I knew the silhouette of my wedding dress, it was easier to base my other looks around it and ensure they wouldn't be too similar."

"The entire [wedding-dress-design] process took around nine months, from January to October. First, we kicked off a call to discuss my overall vision and any references I loved. Luckily, I had a full Pinterest board to share, and two silhouettes would not leave my mind: Rabanne's lace jersey maxi dress, which effortlessly blends lace and satin, and a piece from Inbal Dror's fall 2017 bridal collection, which had these gorgeous lace tiers and an open back. From there, Patricia presented four different sketches based on my mood board, and we had another meeting to review details and narrow down a final design. I wound up combining elements from two of her sketches. Then it was time for a prototype fitting, during which we perfected the silhouette and landed on lace patterns and the perfect shade of creamy ivory. I had three fittings after that to tweak the dress. Designing your own wedding dress can sound daunting, but I had a very specific vision going into it, which made it feel less overwhelming. It was truly the most creative I've ever felt, and Patricia was a dream—patient, warm, and so, so imaginative. No idea was too 'out there.' My mom cut the sleeve of her own wedding dress, which we wrapped around my bouquet of white calla lilies."

"A couple of months before the wedding, I asked Isaac to draw what he thought my dress was going to look like. We both burst into tears during our first look, then he twirled me around and said, 'I was so wrong!'"

Details from the couple's first look.

"When we exchanged gifts the morning of our wedding, I gave him an embroidered handkerchief ('I love you forever. — J') to place in his outside breast pocket. He's a crier—so I knew it'd be put to good use!"

"Isaac knew he wanted to wear a classic tuxedo for the wedding, ultimately choosing one from John Varvatos and embroidering our wedding date on the inside breast pocket. He paired it with black leather Gucci Jordaan Loafers and Santos de Cartier Cufflinks."

WWW Weddings Tip: "If budget allows, I cannot recommend a bridal stylist enough. Nicole took the time to understand my personal taste and source pieces from European designers and vintage markets that I would have never been able to find on my own. The bridal scene can feel like the Wild West, so having a partner like her through it all was a dream!"

"I was originally very against a hotel ballroom. Such a big, bare space overwhelms me. I wanted to choose a venue with décor I already liked rather than a completely blank canvas I would have to dress up a ton to feel warm and full. The Austin Proper, designed by Kelly Wearstler, had a ballroom that didn't feel like a ballroom. There was natural light via floor-to-ceiling windows, interesting chandelier fixtures, and the retro-funky cocktail bar of my dreams. The space is just so cool—a far cry from the cold, business-conference vibes I was afraid of—and it was a bonus that guests would be able to stay on property. Since most of our guests were flying in from New York, I liked that they wouldn't have to shuffle around too much during the wedding weekend."

"Isaac and I both wanted to share public vows during the ceremony, as listening to vows is always our favorite part of any wedding. You get such an intimate glimpse into the couple and a deep understanding of their love. That said, I was so nervous to speak. It's hard to bare your soul! The thought of speaking so vulnerably in front of 200 people genuinely triggered a fight-or-flight response. Interestingly, the vows turned out to be my favorite part of the entire wedding. I always scoffed when people would say that everything melts away the second you walk down the aisle, but believe a type A introvert with a habit of overthinking: It's true. All I saw was Isaac, and I've never felt calmer or more confident as I read aloud. Hearing all the laughs and sniffles in the background only made the moment more special."

"Fragrance is so important to both of us. I've amassed quite the collection as a beauty editor, and Isaac and I often share each other's scents. At the reception, we had a table set up where guests could top off their own fragrance using our personal wedding-day scents—mine being Chloé's Ateliers de Fleurs Cedrus Intense, and Isaac's being Tom Ford's Eau d'Ombre Leather. It was a huge hit. I even convinced multiple friends to buy their own Chloé bottles!"

"Isaac and I wrote a note for each guest at their place setting. It was definitely a labor of love (we not only handwrote each one but also hand-stuffed them into wax-sealed envelopes), but it was so worth it to see many of our friends and family brought to tears. We frequently leave each other handwritten notes around the apartment, so we printed a few of our favorites onto cocktail napkins.

"While guests were finishing up their main courses, Isaac and I danced to 'Moon River' by Frank Sinatra. Those long swells always make me so emotional. Isaac knows to put it on whenever he wants to dial up the romance."

WWW Weddings Tip: "If you're hoping to incorporate personal touches to your décor, like handwritten notes, start earlier than you think. We started writing our place cards three months before, but I honestly could have used more time."

"We wanted the reception to feel like a warm, moody dinner party. Hence the large candelabras, silver platters, and fruit and vegetable arrangements for the tablescapes. I told my wedding planner, Rachel Urban, that I essentially wanted The Bowery Hotel vibes in Austin, and she understood the vision immediately. She's based in NYC and has planned her fair share of celebrations at The Bowery! Rachel is not only the most organized person I've legitimately ever met but also has top-tier taste. She didn't just make sure the train ran smoothly—she was a creative partner at every step of the design direction, which I definitely prioritized when selecting a planner."

WWW Weddings Tip: "All of our speeches, aside from my parents, were during the Friday night welcome dinner. I'm glad we did it that way to maximize time on the dance floor during the reception!"

"Hannah Sexton of Rude Cakes made our cake: an Earl Grey buttermilk cake with lemon curd, white chocolate ganache, raspberry filling, and Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. It was as incredible as it sounds!"

"Finding a second look was difficult! I initially wanted to wear another white ensemble and really commit to the lacy bridal look, but I couldn't find anything I loved enough to take off the ceremony dress of my dreams. Then Nicole sent me the Sandy Liang Martini Confetti Skirt as an out-of-left-field pick, thinking I might like it. I couldn't stop staring at it, wondering if I should hard-pivot from lacy bridal to funky glam. It was such a departure from my ceremony dress, which is ultimately why I went for it. To this day, I can't look at it without smiling! I also loved the fact that both my wedding-day looks would come from New York–based designers. You can take the girl out of NYC…"

"I paired the skirt with a white Norma Kamali minidress that I was floored to find out was, in fact, a minidress (I'm 5'1, and the hem reaches my hip bones) and Alaïa's ice-blue Cube Wedge Mules. I kept on the same jewelry, aside from a beaded necklace from Nicole's archive, which I wore as a double-wrapped anklet. "

"After the band's last song, we followed the horns to the cocktail bar, where a vinyl DJ was set up for some late-night dancing."
