Paris Starn and Theo Soulages lived on the same block in New Yorks East Village for four years.
The couple quickly got to work planning two weddings.
The first, in June 2024, was a small civil ceremony in Paris at a 7th arrondissementmairie.

The ceremony was followed by lunch at a lovely seafood bistro called Mer & Coquillage.
The bride wore a white Courreges set, embellished tights, and Alaia kitten heels.

The planning process was a family affair, Paris says.
Meanwhile, Pariss mother, Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak, acted as the visionary for the whole event.
Meanwhile, the bride got to work catering her own wedding day.
For months, she tirelessly mapped out her Renaissance-inspired dishes.
Then, she turned it over to chefs at creative culinary agency Feisal Lagos to execute.
She wore an antique Battenburg lace dress and veil from Jane Bourvis in London with Christian Louboutin heels.
Pariss godfather, the celebrated poet Tom Healy, officiated their ceremony.
Then, the couple recited sonnets in lieu of traditional vows.
