The couple first met in 2022, after a few of their mutual friends played matchmaker.
They kept suggesting we go on a date, so thats exactly what we did, Karen says.
Enough people were saying it that we thought maybe we should.
After one year together, Lee surprised Karen with a proposal in upstate New York.
We had just gotten the keys to our beautiful farm upstate, Karen remembers.
The couple planned two small wedding ceremonies.
The firstmostly for familytook place in August in Nashville, while the more recent celebration was held in Manhattan.
I have crazy, wild hair, so I was running to Sephora in SoHo at noonmy worst nightmare.
I love Sephora, but not on my wedding day!
Once they did, then it was game overthats when it all really began.
Of course, McGrath and Karen go way back.
She is so dear to me, the bride says.
She did the beauty for my firstVoguecover.
Anyone who knows her knows she brings so much joy to everything.
She helped me forget all of my nerves.
When it started raining at 4 p.m., the bride admits the worry began to set in.
We have a 45-minute window.
And, thankfully, it all worked out.
For those within the music industry, Electric Lady Studios is an iconic and historic institution.
When we realized it was going to rain, he built a contingency plan.
They worked up until three hours before the ceremony and built a temporary rain shelter.
On the roof, there were florals byRosecransandFlowers by Fordeverywhere and a bar at the corner.
The mood was perfect, Karen says.
It felt like a quintessential New York wedding.
We didnt want anything formal.
We told guests to come in whatever makes them comfortablewere not following tradition.
She came in and really helped us with all of that.
I told them that theres gummy worms before and gummy worms after!
