When George Robinson first spotted Alexa Fama on Hinge in 2020, he recognized something: His parents’ summer home in Ocean City, New Jersey, in the background of one of her photos. He couldn’t believe it, and messaged her to tell her. Alexa grew up in the beach town and had taken the picture at a friend’s Fourth of July party on the 17th Street Lagoon. What she didn’t know, of course, was that that picture would help her meet her future husband.
When he told her, they were both a little confused. “We both thought we knew everyone in the town already,” says Alexa, a pediatric ICU nurse at New York-Presbyterian. But it was April 2020, and the conversation didn’t go anywhere amid the pandemic uncertainty. A few months later, Alexa and her friends were on a boat ride in Ocean City and passed by George’s house. He was on his dock. “We made eye contact, and of course I ducked. My sister Olivia was with me, and she couldn’t stop laughing,” Alexa says. “I was still on that boat when he texted me saying, ‘When is it my turn to take you on a boat ride?’”
They went on their first date—a boat ride—the very next day. As they talked, they started “connecting the dots” of all the ways their lives were intertwined. “We couldn’t believe how many people we knew in common,” Alexa says. “There were probably hundreds of summer afternoons in the past when we were just a block apart in the same little town and had no idea.”
In the weeks after that first date, George introduced Alexa to his best friends from life and college at Dickinson. “I was so excited for everyone important in my life to meet Alexa,” says George, who runs his family business, South Jersey Yacht Sales, alongside his father and brother. “They all saw what I see every day. She instinctively cares for others. Her endless compassion and love that she gives so freely make being around her amazing.”
“We definitely bonded over family traditions and the time we spend with friends that feel like family,” Alexa says. “We fell in love ‘down the shore,’ as the shoobies call it, and it was easy to fall in love with him.”
Five years later, George proposed–on the very same dock where they first locked eyes. He always knew he would propose to her there. “The house carries generations of Robinson love stories,” he says. “My grandparents bought it in 1966, my parents met and got engaged there, and it’s where I met Alexa. There was never really another option.”
They were married on March 28, 2026, at The Breakers Palm Beach, working with planner Gabrielle Jaworskyj to bring their vision to life. “We picked locations where we’ve created memories with friends and family in the past,” George shares of choosing Palm Beach. “My grandparents moved to Palm Beach in the 1980s, and my parents followed in 2015. Over the course of our relationship, Palm Beach quietly became one of our favorite places. There were brunches at The Colony, afternoons grabbing a drink at the Breakers’ seafood bar, Easter dinners at Café Boulud, after-dinner drinks at HMF, and late nights at Cucina.”
Alexa worked with stylist Britt Theodora on her bridal fashion. Early on, Emilia Wickstead was on the bride’s radar for her ceremony gown. “I admire the crisp British tailoring and how her gowns are timeless, yet sculptural. My gown was from Emilia’s first bridal collection, but I couldn’t get over the godet skirt. It felt polished and formal, but still easy and unfussy,” Alexa says. “I flew to Miami, where I fell in love with the gown at Ever After, and then had the privilege of working directly with Emilia’s atelier in London.” Alexa paired it with a custom veil from the designer and six-inch Aquazzura platform heels (“I’m only 5 feet tall,” she says).
She walked down the aisle to “At Last” by Etta James played by a string quartet, surrounded by florals by Renny and Reed. “It was one of the most surreal moments of my life,” George says.
The groom wore custom suits by J. Mueser and John Lobb shoes. For their rehearsal dinner at Café Boulud at the Brazilian Court, she wore a silk wool Danielle Frankel gown from the Spring 2026 collection with Manolo Blahnik heels and a mini Chanel bag that George’s mother, Beryl, gave her. At their welcome party at The Colony (“George and I wanted an authentic Old Florida cocktail party,” Alexa shares), she wore a vintage Christian Dior floral brocade dress that was made for a bride in the 1960s.
They danced their first dance to “Whenever, Wherever” by Shakira. For the after-party at Cuchina, Alexa changed into a hand-beaded mini dress by Patricia Voto of One/Of. Reflecting on the weekend, one of George’s favorite moments came toward the end of the reception, courtesy of their wedding band, Soirée.
“We planned to close the night with ‘Dog Days Are Over’ by Florence and the Machine, a song that definitely resonates with our friends and amazing nights out at a Jersey Shore bar. It was such an epic finish, but when the band finished the song, they started breaking down their equipment, and our guests refused to let it end. They yelled ‘encore’ for several minutes until the band unpacked everything, walked back out, and played ‘Mr. Brightside,’” says George. “Of course Lex and I got on stage and eventually, by everyone’s demands, ended up doing a stage dive.”
To our parents, George, Beryl, Anthony, and Michele, thank you for being such a huge part of this day and for all you did to make it so meaningful. We love you guys!
Here we go team!! It’s amazing to see all of your favorite people together.
The night before the night before.
I loved how sculptural this Danielle Frankel dress was. I wore it with Manolo Blahnik mules. George wore a custom chocolate brown windowpane suit by J.Mueser that I can’t wait to see him wear again. Not bad, George.
Orange poppies! Emma Lee Graf created embroidered menus for us, and our planner Gabrielle tied everything together.
We were so excited and present. We adore the Brazilian Court.
Sharing a few words, followed by toasts from our friends Shelby and Brandon. Lots of laughs around the table, which felt very us.
Welcome to the Pink Paradise.
Renny & Reed did an incredible job with all of the arrangements. Loved their team, and that they’re Palm Beach locals.
I found the classic lawn furniture so chic, so we kept the rest subtle. I was especially into the white eyelet-embroidered linens. The perfect setting for our welcome party.
A rare quiet spot at The Colony.
George Sr., likely joking about marlin fishing or his passion for salted caramel martinis.
So are we AV FAM, Delhey, Litney, or Mrs. Flavortown? I love you girls to P1 and back.
Cotton candy skies and immaculate vibes.
My dress is almost as old as the hotel itself. Britt Theodora helped me find this vintage Dior gown, originally commissioned by a bride in 1962, and chose the floral Carolina Herrera earrings to go with it. A Palm Beach welcome party felt like the best moment to bring it out of retirement.
We both grew up at the beach in New Jersey, and enjoy spending the winter with family in Palm Beach, so getting married by the ocean was especially meaningful to us.
A sneak peek.
You’re all cordially invited.
A part of the day that went by way too fast. Our matching La Maregold outfits were a last minute but fun decision.
I’ll never forget my mom crying the first time I tried on my dress. I trust her opinion on everything, so her reaction sealed the deal for me. She looked stunning all weekend.
My two role models. I love you, Mom and Dad.
Now I’m crying. I miss our late night recaps in my room, laughing about everything that happened that day.
Same time next year?
Our family friend Janie helped George design my engagement ring and later my wedding band. I knew I wanted her help with my wedding day jewelry. She found me the fabulous bracelet and drop earrings I wore down the aisle.
Wearing Emilia Wickstead felt so special. I wanted a more traditional gown for our ceremony, but I loved how the drop waist and godets on this dress were fresh and unexpected. I adored having my final fittings at their atelier in London and working with their team on my custom veil. They made the whole bridal experience feel elevated and so personal.
A cool moment before I put on my jacket and tie.
Gents.
Love you, Mom and Dad. —George
My very chic mother in law in Oscar de la Renta. —Alexa
South Florida was showing off for us.
The flowers looked like they grew right out of the ground. Soon to be filled with everyone we love.
Gametime.—George
This queen showed her younger cousins how it’s done, as always. Go Ellie!
Archie kept things interesting on his way down the aisle. We’ll be talking about this one forever, Archibald.
I couldn’t wait to see Alexa. —George
The moment we’ve been waiting for! A string quartet made my entrance extra dramatic.
The first time we saw each other that day. How did I get so lucky?
I spy Isla with my little eye.
Giggling at George’s brother Grant, who officiated our ceremony. Our families have been part of our story from day one, so having him marry us felt right and so special.
Mr. and Mrs. George Robinson.
We did it baby!
Pure bliss.
The ones who mean everything to us.
George and I just started dating when my uncle told us he was having a baby girl, and it’s been such a blessing watching my cousins Ellie and Isla grow up over the years. They call me Lulu
Truthfully, it took me longer to decide on their outfits than my own. They wore custom dresses by Dolores Petunia in Brooklyn and Pepa London shoes. How cute are their woven baskets?
A framer!
Husband and Wife
One of my favorite details was the subtle lace trim on my veil. J.Mueser designed George’s custom tuxedo with shawl lapels and an asymmetrical bow tie, which I thought was effortlessly cool. John Lobb Jamie loafers were a must.
Golden hour in front of The Breakers.
What’s up Mrs. Robinson? —George
The Palm Beach Inn
A monochromatic moment.
Designing each event with Gabrielle was my favorite part of wedding planning. Can you tell I love patterns and embroidery?
Our reception! We draped the ballroom in chocolate brown which was unconventional but very inviting.
Obsessed with these Ginori dinner plates.
Florals in shades of green and white and varying patterned linens layered throughout the room. The patterned menus by Emma Lee Graf were created in different designs to coordinate with each different linen. A cool little detail you’d only notice if you looked closely.
I was not expecting the cake to be this tall. Bit of a surprise to us all.
I have the most beautiful wife.
Sandro (our dance instructor) gave me strict instructions to show off her dress. We danced to “Whenever, Wherever” by Shakira, which became the unofficial theme song of the weekend.
This is what we’ve been waiting for. Pictured above (from left to right): Victoria, Shelby, Tyler, Melanie, Jenna, Shaina, Olivia (back turned), Brandon, Reid, Emma, Lindsay, Grant, Beau
Would take a whole lot of this to kill ya. —George
Erik Dinardo, your mini raw bar is boxed up and ready for pickup.
My dad and I wanted to keep it upbeat. We weren’t into doing a choreographed dance so we got up there and grooved to Sunny by Boney M.
Soirée knows how to throw a party. Our friends demanding an encore at the end had us laughing. Bravo!
And we danced all night.
Had to hit em’ with the razzle dazzle. Hey Allison and Ethan.
The most unforgettable dance floor.
George and I love a Saturday night at Cucina, so we brought everyone there for our afterparty. What happened after midnight is none of our business.
Fin. Thank you to our friends and family for making the weekend everything it was and we’re so grateful to Olivia Rae James for capturing these memories. Cheers from Mr. and Mrs. Robinson!
