After a whirlwind romance of 50 — that’s right, 50 — years, fashion designer Arnold Scaasi and retired publishing executive Parker Ladd are gittin’ hitched.

So what does the fashion designer to the stars wear when the spotlight is on the other foot, so to speak? “I’m wearing a navy blue suit with a pink-and-white striped shirt and a pink tie,” Arnold said. Parker’s wearing white flannel pants and a navy blue blazer. Veddy Palm Beach.

Guests including Martha Stewart, Tory Burch, Mica Ertegun, Alfred and Judy Taubman, Arlene Dahl, Marc Rosen, Iris Love and First Deputy Mayor Patricia E. Harris were given postcards depicting the couple a half-century ago in Capri.
