How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.

Frank and I met at his restaurant, here in the East Village of New York City. We sat at the bar at Lil Frankie’s talking from 10 pm until 4 in the morning. I went home buzzing from our incredible conversation and chemistry and good vibes. We said we would try to be friends, nothing serious. We said I love yous after a week, moved in after three months, got married after five years, and of course, we are seriously the best of friends.

What advice would you give to all our future brides?

At the end of the day, your wedding is just a party. For many people, your wedding will be just “another” party. The way to ensure that your wedding isn’t just a party and is instead one of the most memorable or incredible experiences in your life is to invest in the people that show up for you, love and praise them, and have a good time with them. For those who don’t want a part of your journey, wish them well, and let them go.
