Dr. Moon was walked down the aisle by her mother, Michon Moon, where she was met by her father, August Moon. Her parents are from Richmond.
Ms. Pritchett was walked down the aisle by her parents, Cleon and Monika Pritchett of Woodbridge.
A buffet dinner reception and dancing followed the ceremony on the oceanview Toro Terrace.
The weekend festivities included an all-white welcome party and catamaran cruise.
