Then 12 of us went on vacation to Sicily and stayed at a house in the south.
Marcos and I have been inseparable since that trip.
The two were engaged four years later, at home in the summer of 2023.

Our planner, Layne Kula ofPenny Layne, was an expert, Katherine says.
I couldnt have imagined a more capable and pleasant person to work with throughout the wedding.
Now that its over, I genuinely miss her!
For her very New York City wedding, the bride wore Vivienne Westwoodjust like Carrie inSex and the City.
There was no question it wasthedress.
She did a spectacular job.
For jewelry, Katherine had planned on wearing some pieces she already owned.
It came together perfectly, she says.
Stylist Jackie Seabrooke was her immediate go-to for hair.
Ive known her for years and have always followed her work, the bride explains.
Jackie has never failed to impress with showstopping hair.
Shout-out for the best party pony anyones ever seen!
For makeup, a friend introduced Katherine to Markphong Tram.
I was blown away by his talent, she says.
I felt like myself but way better.
Katherine and Marcos chose not to have a wedding party.
But the whole crew really turned it out, Katherine notes.
Everyone was giving glitzy old New York in the coolest way.
We had gowns, updos, and crisp peak-lapel tuxedos.
The vision realized was far beyond any expectations, Katherine says.
First, they closed down Howard Street at Crosby Street and turned it into a floral wonderland.
The scene awaiting us took my breath away.
It doesnt get more special than that.
They were a vibe, and apparently rain means forever, so we are stoked about that.
We were transported to this very special moment.
Afterward, the couple couldnt stop smiling.
It was an utter fairy-tale dream, Katherine says.
Neither of us stopped happily weeping the entire ceremony.
It was unplanned, but we are so grateful it happened, the bride says.
There were a lot of tearful and tight hugs.
Once in the famed SoHo restaurant, the party started.
It was an absolute blast, Katherine says.
No kinks, no compromisesLayne Kula and her team absolutely crushed it.
Had to start with hand-illustrated seafood towers to hint at Balthazar for the save-the-dates.
No one has to know Im fully allergic.
