further details to come…

How did you meet?
We went to college together, but …we barely knew each other. Of course I knew of the legend that is Dietram, but we barely uttered more than a dozen words to each other over the course of 4 years. As fate would have it, we found ourselves in one anther’s company the night before we graduated and spent many hours talking…only to graduate the next day and not see each other again. Or so we thought…

Six or so years later, fate would come knocking again to remind us of one another. We ran into each other at, of all places, a lounge called Double Happiness: a perfectly appropriate name for what was then to occur. We ran around New York City together that night (literally, running, I raced through the wet streets in traction-less flip flops only to slide from one street to the next, Dietram keeping up as best he could). We laughed and reminisced and enjoyed re-acquainting ourselves with one another. Dietram, not the most gregarious of fellows but certainly the most sincere I’d met, took a chance and called me the next day. Being the free spirit I am, I made what could have been the most tragic decision of my life: not returning his call. Thankfully, perhaps with the help of a higher being, Dietram called again 3 months later. And the rest as they say…

What detail did you like best about your wedding day?
SO many. It was blessed. You could really feel the love in the air. All my favorite people, on a gorgeous day, watching me marry Dietram. And how lucky I am to be marrying into his wonderful family. The love hovered in the air. Sounds cliche and a bit corny for my taste, but seriously, the general feeling was intense!! Magical.

What was your favorite moment during your wedding day?
Too many to list, but a top 5 fav moment was definitely when you snuck us away while the sun was setting to take some pictures in the front of the house… the light, the way the air felt, it was soooooo sooo pretty and special. and to steal away a few moments with Dietram away from our guests was so nice. It was a “deep breath, happy sigh, and ‘ahhhhhh'” kind of moment.

What’s next on your calender as a couple?
We just got back from sixteen amazing days in Italy so we’re going to work our way into the holidays slowly… and get over our jetlag. 🙂 but there will be eggnog and merriment to be had for sure!
