Editor’s Note: I have always said that one of the joys of this job is never knowing what I will open next in my overflowing Inbox! Imagine my surprise when I clicked on an email recently and it was an invitation to cover a wedding in Old Lyme—but not just any wedding but rather one being held on Griswold Point … with the bride and groom coming all the way from Los Angeles, Calif. to tie the knot! We were not able to be there in person but father of the groom David Griswold of Old Lyme kindly sent us some photos of the event and we thought it would be a pleasant distraction from all the politics of the moment to share them with our readers.
OLD LYME — Eric Griswold, son of Elaine and David Griswold of Old Lyme, married Maddy Farkas, daughter of Lila and Danny Farkas of Los Angeles, Calif. on Griswold Point on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025.
Over 150 relatives and friends attended the event.
Justin Sadle of Lexington, Ky. officiated the ceremony. Lexi Jennings from Los Angeles was the Maid of Honor and Michael Cleary, also from Los Angeles, was the Best Man.
Bridesmaids were Laura Griswold Wentz from Lexington, Ky, Laruen Boniface and Megan Gessert from Los Angeles, Calif. and Bethany Ludemann and Molly Geller from Australia.
Groomsmen were Jeffrey Griswold from Chelsea, Ala., Josh Wentz from Lexington, Ky. and David Beglin, Jesse Harris, and Song Pettus from Los Angeles, Calif.
Eric Griswold is a Production Supervisor with Skydance Media and Maddy Farkas is an Interior Designer with Jillian Sipkins Interiors.
The couple will live in Los Angeles, Calif.
Was there, What a time we had with spectacular weather and wedding planning!
CONGRATS TO MADDY AND ERIC!
And YES to a break from politics! Thank you.
