And now...the Reception!

We are so excited to finally raise a glass and celebrate our marriage with friends and family.

Although COVID-19 changed our plans, and we have been happily married for over a year, we can finally raise a glass! We hope you'll celebrate our new chapter with us on April 30, 2022.

In 2020, We Got a Head Start...

Rich and I couldn't stand the thought of putting you all in harm's way in the midst of a pandemic. We also couldn't stand the thought of waiting another minute to start our life together. We hope you will enjoy a few pictures and the vows we exchanged at our very intimate wedding in the Wynn Tower Suites Atrium. Surrounded by four koi ponds, it represents an ocean of calm in the pandemic chaos. We look forward to a bigger celebration as soon as it's safe.

Rich's Vows Part I

Kate, the very first day I met you, I saw an unattainable, peerlessly beautiful supermodel of a girl. I saw a girl filled with confidence, intelligence, an incredible sense of humor, and more beauty than I ever thought I could find in the world. I saw a girl who was at least my equal, and who likely was better than me across the board. I saw someone I could have spent my life with and wished I had known you when we were in our twenties. I never forgot that feeling. It stayed with me and grew over the days, weeks, months and years. It was with me when you and I walked down a street in New Orleans years ago. When you picked up your phone. When you showed me a picture of yourself back in Connecticut in the sun, in the winter. When I saw your beautiful, smiling face, your gorgeous hair, your sunglasses and thought to myself that you would have made an incredible wife, and that I wished you could have been my wife. As I got to know you better and came to understand just how incredible and amazing you are, that feeling grew even more. In you, I saw a girl who was dedicated to her friends and family. Who was elegant and impossibly beautiful. Who was extraordinarily successful in the biggest city in the world. Who raised an amazing son. Who was always positive, kind, generous and focused on others rather than herself. And who somehow became more and more beautiful over time. I noticed that I focused more time and attention on you. That I looked forward to seeing you more than anyone else. That I changed my appearance and my schedule and my life to somehow be noticed by you, if my chance to have a life with you ever came. I never lost hope that it would, and I always wanted it to more than I wanted anything else. And now we stand here in the Atrium at the Wynn Hotel. In the Ocean of Calm. In a beautiful place where no one before us has been allowed to be married. Moments away from making all of my dreams come true.

Rich's Vows Part II

Kate, I promise to spend every day for the rest of my life making you feel beautiful, wanted and thoroughly loved, making you happy, showing you that your happiness means more to me than my happiness, and making you feel adored, worshipped and treasured. I promise that you will always be the most important person in my life, that I will always respect you and like you, that I will always take care of you and listen to you. And always be grateful to you for this life. I promise to always celebrate you and your accomplishments, be proud of you and always do and say things to make you proud of me. I promise to speak about you with reverence and show you devotion. To always tell you how beautiful your singing voice is. To treat you like you’re the most valuable thing in my life – because you are and always will be. I promise to treat you so well that your friends, and even strangers, will see how much I love you. I promise to change if you need me to change, to always understand that you have the best of intentions. To always celebrate your independence and strength. To always love Mason just as much as I love Tommy, and to be an excellent role model for them both. To always work to make today the very best decision of your entire life. Beautiful girl, I will never leave you. I will always come back to you. And you have me for forever. As your husband.

Kate's Vows Part I

There’s so much to say and so little time to say it, but the most important thing to tell you on this exceptional early morning is I love you. With that love, I give you not only my heart, but my promise to never stop tending our marriage, making it grow and thrive. Today, I pledge to honor the magnificent man I have the privilege of marrying with these vows. I vow to respect you. I will respect you as a professional, as a partner, as a father and as a man. I will never stop holding you in the absolute highest regard for all the things that you do and all the things that you are. Resentment is gone, and your life is only respect from this day forward. I vow to do better. I will never stop asking what more I can do to make your life everything you dreamed it could be. I will give you my efforts, my time, my everything, and then I’ll ask what more I can give. I commit to improvement. Settling for less than is gone, and the high standards you’ve always deserved is yours. I vow to be faithful. Since the moment you came into my life, I never needed anything but exactly the man you are. I will never stray from you and I will never want any life but one by your side. I vow to make sure you know each day that my highest calling is commitment to you. I vow to value you. You are the best thing that ever happened to me, and I vow to tell you. I will tell you, because it’s true, how smart, handsome, accomplished, strong and brave you are. I will notice your efforts and I will praise you for them. I will see the man you are and the phenomenal things you give, and I will say thank you. I will never take you for granted. I vow to give you joy. I promise to make that stunning smile flash across your face as often as I possibly can. I promise to give you jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes. I promise to focus on you and remind you as often as you can take it that your happiness matters.

Kate's Vows Part II

I vow to love Tommy. It is a privilege to become Tommy’s step mother today, and I vow to treat him just the way I treat Mason. I vow to care for him, comfort him, support him, contribute financially to his happiness, and be the role model he deserves. I promise to make him feel welcome and adored in his Connecticut and New York homes. I vow to be ready. Our relationship started so incredibly strong because it was a thing of beauty even amid chaos, but it’s foolish to think we won’t face challenges. I don’t know what happens next, but I know I can give you my patience, my enthusiasm, my forgiveness, my apologies, my assumption of all your positive intent and my eagerness to move ahead hand-in-hand with you each day. I vow to be brave with you. I have seen you achieve impossible things on a regular basis, and I know that with you, all things are possible. I promise to remember that and be guided by your inspiration rather than fear of the unknown. I vow to learn from your example about all the amazing things we can accomplish. I vow to love you. Most of all, I vow to love you with my whole heart and be your devoted wife until we shake off this mortal coil. I’m yours. I’ll never leave you and you’ll have me for forever.
