Alexa and her husband first met at a mutual friend's birthday celebration in New York City. After spending the evening talking, they went ice skating at Bryant Park for their first date, a tradition they continue every year. He later proposed in Cold Spring during peak fall foliage before surprising Alexa with both of their families waiting to celebrate together.

When planning their wedding, they wanted every detail to reflect both their story and the experience they hoped to create for their guests. Choosing Newport brought together Alexa's California family and her husband's family from upstate New York in a destination that felt equally meaningful to both. One of the moments she'll treasure forever was waiting beside her father as Ave Maria played, before the church doors opened and she saw her husband waiting at the altar surrounded by everyone they loved.
