The Ceremony
We're making it official just down the street at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau — the way New Yorkers do. We’re excited to have an intimate courthouse ceremony followed by photos around our neighborhood.

A NYC Love Story
Sparks flew in 2017…
when henry and Catherine met on July 17 on their first day of work at Macys. Lunches in Bryant Park became a regular occurrence, with Catherine expertly constructing Greek salads using an increasing number of Tupperware containers. These lunches are where the seeds were planted and their relationship took root.
From friendship to making it official in 2019,
Henry was introduced to Catherine’s family through the wedding of her cousin, the first trip they took together.
In 2020 at the commencement of a global pandemic,
they moved to Arizona for what was expected to be a month in the sun. One month quickly turned into 2 years of hiking, backyard bbqs, and adventure travel across the Southwest. Most importantly, however, was the planned and executed heist of our son, Quinn, from the doldrums of Northern Ohio.
2022 brought return to office mandates and the start of Henry’s NYU studies.
They made their home in Manhattan’s seaport neighborhood and have become fixtures of the tight-knit neighborhood.
May of 2023 brought a long-planned trip to Central Park to let their son frolic freely amongst the meadows, where an enthusiastic “Yes!” at Belvedere Castle set the course for their life ahead...
even if Catherine nearly let Quinn wander off in the process.
Many travels and NYC dinners later the time has come to celebrate their union in the neighborhood they made their home in Manhattan. We look forward to celebrating with the people we love most!

Summer Cocktail. Dresses, Pants, and Dresses, but don’t take it too seriously

Indoors for both days. The courthouse ceremony is inside, and Saturday's celebration is at an indoor venue. But we'll be in New York in July, so dress for warm weather when getting around.

We're keeping things intimate, so we've specifically invited the people we want there. If your invitation includes a plus one, it will say so. If you're unsure, reach out to us.

Obviously.

This is New York City. There is no parking situation. Take the subway, grab a cab, or walk. That's part of the charm.
-
Yes. You're welcome.
