I was totally smitten.
Emma went with some other DJs who threw the party at their housean obvious oversight on her part.
Adds Emma, But we became extremely close regardless.
Love grew over the years, as did their creative pursuits.
In 2022, Rowan began work on another creative projecttheir engagement.
Rowan arrived in Paris during La Fete de la Musique, a summer festival through the city streets.
Wedding planning was their next great creative challenge.
This started with deciding on theWythe HotelsMain Hall andBar Blondeaufor the ceremony itself and reception.
The duo also decided to host a rehearsal dinner at their friend Alex Tieghi-Walkers Tribeca galleryTiwa Select.
The final piece of the puzzle was wedding planner Melissa Sullivan ofStudio Sully.
We asked her to come on board after we were already well underway with planning, shares Rowan.
Its hard to imagine working with anyone else who could have stepped right into those conversations so seamlessly.
[It] felt like working with a friend immediately too.
That helped maintain the sweet, fun nature of planning right through to the end of the wedding night.
Its no surprise music and food were a primary focus of the creative couples wedding plans.
And they are also planning their own wedding.
As we said to each other many times over the course of planning: We love love!
