About Us

WE'RE MARRIED!!!! Kevin and I met four years through a mutual friend. While we hit it off initially, we didn't start dating right away - he blames it on the fact that we lived in different cities at the time. We lost touch for a few months and started emailing again when I left the country for a year to do a volunteer program in Costa Rica! We started emailing again right around the time I left the US and stayed in touch the whole year, gradually establishing ourselves as a couple, even despite the long distance.

The Proposal

Kevin proposed at the exact same spot where we had initially met. It was really touching and sweet.

Ceremony and Reception Details

We got married in New York City. My family is originally from right outside of the City and we wanted a fun place for everyone to reunite and celebrate our special day. We had the Rehearsal Dinner at Panorama Cafe on 85th and 2nd; Ceremony at Holy Trinity Cathedral on 74th and 2nd; and Reception at The Roosevelt Hotel on 45th and Madison. I'm in the process of posting my reviews - check back soon!

Bridal Attire

I wore a gown by Christos - Alecon lace top and A-line skirt. As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one! My bridesmaids wore Flamingo Pink Jenny Yoo dresses and the boys wore basic black tuxedos with a black bowtie. Everyone looked amazing!

Advice

Get personal recs for EVERYTHING! I went and had a hair trial at a salon just because it was located near the hotel and hated the results. Don't waste your time and money by going to unrecommended vendors. After I return from my honeymoon, I will be posting reviews on all my vendors! Stay tuned!!!
