KC: We met at an apartment party where Jeffrey ended up making KC laugh…and a quesadilla. It was love at first Mexican food, a quintessential New York reality.
KC: Jeffrey’s pocket square was his late grandfather’s and it is embroidered with the letter J. KC is wearing circle pin on the back of her sash that was passed down from her grandmother to her mother and now to her. It was her “something blue.”
KC: Jeffrey decided to propose in his underwear one Saturday morning by telling me there was a surprise on the top kitchen cabinet. I climbed on top of the kitchen counter to get to get to the top shelf and when I started opening the box Jeffrey was down on one knee.
Jeffrey: The wedding took place in historical Chautauqua, NY. We chose this location for its serene beauty and charm. KC’s family has been going to Chautauqua for the summer for 7 generations.
Jeffrey: Seeing KC walk down the aisle and being able to tell our friends and family how I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
KC: The ceremony. From Jeff playing pieces he’d written on guitar for both mine and the bridesmaid’s precession down the aisle to quotes from philosopher’s I had picked out to be read to Jeff writing the entire ceremony that was read and conducted by the officiant to us writing and reciting our own vows. It was very special.
Jeffrey: My favorite picture (above) is right after we’ve said our “I dos” and are about to walk back down the aisle. We are both laughing and it encapsulates how we are with one another.
KC: I love the photos of me walking down the aisle with my parents. I’m looking at Jeff and you can see the excitement in my eyes. I also love all of the pictures of us performing together. He’s accompanying my singing on guitar and we both look so happy because we’re doing what we love with each other on one of the best days of our lives.
