Blessed with perfect weather, Elizabeth Tickle Douglass and Oliver Cornelius Nihan exchanged vows on June 20 “in a field overlooking Hook Pond, where clear skies lit up the celebration, bringing with them the magic that East Hampton is known for,” the bride’s family wrote. “Moments before the ceremony began, guests looked skyward to see an eagle circling overhead, a sight many consider a sign of good fortune and a fitting blessing for the day ahead.”
The Rev. Canon John D. Perris officiated.
The bride is the daughter of Lynn Douglass of East Hampton and Brooklyn and William A. Douglass III of East Hampton, Gulfstream, Fla., and Eleuthera in the Bahamas. She has deep roots here: Her great-great-grandfather Charles White Trippe owned a house on Dunemere Lane, her great-grandfather Juan Trippe had the house at the end of West End Road on Georgica Pond, and her grandmother Betsy Trippe DeVecchi later “reacquired the Dunemere Lane home, bringing the family back to its original roots.”
The groom’s parents are Brigit Nieuwenhuijzen of Amsterdam and Leonard Nihan of Jamestown, R.I., and Wellington, Fla.
The couple live in Santa Monica, Calif.
The bride is a singer-songwriter whose professional name is Elodie Réverie. She attended Poly Prep in Brooklyn and graduated from Kenyon College in Ohio in 2015. The groom is an e-commerce entrepreneur. He attended the Pomfret School in Connecticut and graduated in 2016 from Sewanee: The University of the South in Tennessee.
They met “the old-fashioned way,” at a famous Los Angeles establishment called the Bungalow after one of the bride’s auditions.
On her wedding day, the bride was attended by her brother, William T. Douglass. The groom’s brother, Philip Nihan, was his best man. The bride wore a vintage dress and carried flowers by Little Sister Creative in Brooklyn. Her closest friends wore dresses by Missoni.
