While Haibon preferred something a little more “low-key,” his future wife wanted to go all-out for the pre-wedding party.

“I brought him to OceanCliff, and he was like ‘Alright. You’re right,'” says Iaconetti. “It overlooks the other side of the water in Newport, Rhode Island, so you see the bridge and the sunset.”
