Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
- Marcus Aurelius
Ariel & Matthew’s tale begins at Columbia University.


The duo began dating shortly after meeting at Columbia. Ariel & Matthew knew it was the real deal when they continuously made excuses to take classes together and spend every day with each other. They had the most fun in the one another’s company.


College came and went and their love flourished over time. It was while vacationing in San Francisco that Ariel’s fate would change forever. They were sitting by the Ferry Building looking out onto the bay when Matthew asked her to be his. Ariel recalls, “It was a very sweet moment for us.”



Ariel & Matthew were wed on May 13, 2012 at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye Brooke, NY. She floated down the aisle in a Reem Acra dress and Kate Spade shoes. Matthew was dashing in a Hugo Boss tux and Ferragamo shoes. Atlas Flowers adorned the room while Neshoma Orchestra rocked the dance floor!


Thank you Ariel & Matthew for sharing your special day with us!
