Rhode Island’s favorite Olympic swimmer got married earlier this month, and now People magazine offers a peek behind the scene at the festivities – including details about the Ocean State vendors the bride used.

Elizabeth Beisel, the Saunderstown native who competed in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympic Games, winning two medals and being named captain of the 2016 team, married Jack Nichting, whom she met when they were both contestants on “Survivor,” on Sept. 7 at Bonnet Shores Beach. A reception followed at Casey Farm in Saunderstown.

And if getting married barefoot on a beach in Narragansett isn’t enough, Beisel found other ways to highlight her home state during her festivities.

According to People, the reception featured a charcuterie table from Grapes and Gourmet in Jamestown, and an oyster and shrimp boat by Watch Hill Catering in Westerly. Dinner was catered by Perro Saldo, of Newport, which included some of the restaurant’s Mexican favorites like tostones, guacamole, burrito bowls and more. The cake, made by Nichting’s mom, was accompanied by ice cream from Baron’s in Narragansett.

The newlyweds also hosted an informal breakfast the day after the wedding at King Park in Newport, where guests were invited to enjoy a picnic of coffee, pastries and a beautiful view of the harbor.

Like true Rhode Islanders, the lovebirds included on their wedding website some suggestions for great spots for their guests to eat during their stay in Rhode Island. Nichting, who according to the site has also worked in the local service industry for years, recommends places like Matunuck Oyster Bar (where the couple celebrates every anniversary), Perro Salado in Newport, and even Frosty Freez in Middletown. And they encouraged visitors to check out Newport’s famed Cliff Walk, Ocean Drive, Norman Bird Sanctuary and the Gilded Age mansions on Bellevue Avenue.

The celebration attracted some famous guests, including fellow Olympians Katie Ledecky, Katie Hoff and Missy Franklin and Caeleb Dressel.

Beisel wasn’t the only Rhode Island celeb to tie the knot this summer. She joins fellow Rhode Islanders who have tied the knot here this summer − Olivia Culpo, who wed San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey in June at a star-studded affair at the Ocean House in Westerly, and Billy Gilman, who married Anthony Carbone last month.

Tasked with helping the city craft a pitch to Hasbro, Kashala touted the building’s location, which is visible from Interstate 95, centrally located in downtown, and is close to the new Pawtucket-Central Falls Transit Center that serves as a stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s commuter rail. Any redevelopment of the site, he said, would also complement the Tidewater Landing Redevelopment — the future home of the Rhode Island FC soccer club.

Hasbro “could have a big symbolic presence,” said Kashala.

The news comes a week after Hasbro executives confirmed that the company was exploring new options for its headquarters, which has been located in Rhode Island since its founding in 1923 by the Hassenfeld family. It’s one of the few publicly traded companies based in Rhode Island, and is the corporation behind classics like Monopoly, Nerf, Mr. Potato Head, Twister, and Play-Doh.

The company owns its 343,000-square-foot office on Newport Avenue in Pawtucket, which executives said they are ready to move on from for new digs in the Greater Boston area.

“Our Pawtucket building is full of charm and history, but it is also showing its age,” Christian “Chris” P. Cocks wrote in his message to employees on Sept. 16. Cocks said in that same message that any potential move wouldn’t take place “for at least 18 months” and that none of the details are final.

Hasbro executives have already toured multiple Boston office buildings and informally met with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey’s office.

Hasbro employs approximately 5,500 people globally, with roughly 1,000 based in Rhode Island. If Hasbro moved out of Rhode Island, it would dramatically shift Pawtucket’s economic landscape. Yet Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien was left out of Governor Dan McKee and Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi’s initial meeting with Cocks on Sept. 19.

In July, Pawtucket started soliciting bids from developers for what is known as the Downtown Gateway Project, which centers around the former Apex building. On Wednesday, the city is expected to announce that it received four proposals, which the city’s administration, planning, and commerce departments will begin reviewing next week, Pawtucket spokeswoman Grace Voll said.

The initial solicitation did not ask developers to envision the site to include Hasbro’s headquarters.

If the former Apex building is not razed, it’s not yet clear what the total investment would be for Hasbro to use the existing building. Kashala could not provide cost estimates or describe the conditions of the property.

As one of Rhode Island’s largest corporations, officials have previously attempted to court Hasbro to stay in Pawtucket.

In 2018, when Hasbro executives considered renovating or completely vacating their headquarters in Pawtucket, Grebien made a similar pitch to Hasbro and the Pawtucket Red Sox (now the Worcester Red Sox) with the hope that both institutions would move their operations to the city’s downtown. City leaders wanted Hasbro to build a new office complex just beyond the outfield wall of a new PawSox stadium. The mayor’s presentation claimed that Hasbro becoming part of the greater ballpark redevelopment area could save the company up to $10 per square foot each year. Neither project ever came to fruition.

Under former governor Gina M. Raimondo, state officials had attempted to pitch the Industrial Trust Company Building in Providence (which is more commonly referred to as the “Superman” building) and the former I-195 land to Hasbro.

Over the last year, Hasbro has shaved down its local workforce, from 1,400 full-time employees in 2023 to 1,000 in 2024, and gave up the lease on its office in downtown Providence. In the last three months of 2023, Hasbro lost $1.06 billion.

In the state’s latest effort to keep the company in Pawtucket, Kashala acknowledges surrounding cities — including Providence — could begin a bidding war by handing out incentives or other forms of tax breaks.

“The goal should really be, how do we come together in this initial response where we take Hasbro leaving the state off the table,” Kashala said.
