From the couple:
We found each other twice. First, in the crowded annals of social media, and second, in the teeming streets of Union Square in Manhattan. Both meetings, several months apart, were equally as fortuitous as they were auspicious…
We spent our first year together commuting between each other’s apartments on the Upper East Side and Gramercy Park, enjoying the city, conjuring up interesting recipes, watching about a ton of films, and turning our gaze toward a new frontier: Brooklyn.
We couldn’t have imagined that we’d ever fall face first in love with an outer borough! But we knew we could definitely fall in love with each other. And then we got engaged. On May 28, 2010, over a lunch break at our favorite taco shop, we promised each other that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together!
The day of our wedding was the perfect fall day that made us choose mid-October. It was crisp, dry and filled with sunshine. We could not have been happier. It would have been lovely to have a rainy, romantic wedding, but after a long week of rain in DC, it felt like the sun was shining just for us. Joining us for the celebration were friends and family, some who we hadn’t seen in a long time, and some who had not met either Tiffany or Meredith, so it was a beautiful time of reunion and also first meetings. One highlight of the wedding was the completely energetic and inspired hora (Jewish folk dance) that happened in the second half of the evening. We didn’t realize it at the time, but the crowd was having so much fun that some family members had the DJ loop Hava Nagila over and over so we did the entire song about four times!
In lieu of favors, we made a donation to the Ali Forney Center, the largest organization housing and providing services for homeless Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer youth in New York City.
