Lindsey: We met through a friend at one of our favorite bars on the Upper West Side, Amsterdam Alehouse.
Lindsey: Kamahnie proposed on a snowy Friday night walk in December at Ralph Ellison Memorial Park in Harlem. Invisible Man is one of my favorite books and it felt perfect to be in that space, late at night, beginning a new chapter together.
Lindsey: Saying our vows. It felt sacred, and exciting. There was one moment during the ceremony when our officiant asked us to look out at the people who were gathered in the bookstore to support and celebrate us. Looking into the eyes of our friends and family at such an important moment is something we’ll never forget.
Lindsey: We were married in the Housing Works Bookstore in Soho. We LOVE bookstores, and it felt important to us not only to be surrounded by our most-loved people, but also the stories we had loved and shared together. And because Housing Works is a non-profit, were also very happy to know that the money we spent on our event would benefit those who are in great need in our city.
Lindsey: Our favorite is the one in the street. It was the end of the night, we’d had the time of our lives, and it’s just so New Yorky.
