Our Wedding

Chris & Brigitte — A Love Story Against the Odds

We met in February 2024 after both calling New York City home for nearly a decade, all while sharing an alarming number of mutual friends who somehow never thought to introduce us. Almost immediately we fell in love and have spent the last two and a half years reminding those friends of their spectacular oversight. Now we're getting married, and we'd be honored to celebrate with you in Brooklyn on October 17, 2026. P.S. There may be a brief, good-natured roast of the mutual friends who dropped the ball.
