KELLY and SCOTT


kelly and scott met back in july 1996 through a mutual friend in new york. their first date took them to il cantinori, and from there have started their adventures. after 2 years of dating, scott was ready to ask kelly not only to marry him, but to move to hong kong with him for the next chapter of their lives. on the night he proposed, he took her back to new york where they had their first official date, then took her for a late night stroll across the brooklyn bridge. there, he got down on one knee and popped the question. living in asia has let them expand their love of travel and has given them many opportunities to experience new things together. congratulations, kelly & scott!
my heartfelt thanks to my incredibly talented team of vendors who created a fantastic dream wedding they will long remember. and a very special kudos and endless gratitude to my fabulous associate, christina keesler, for taking such great care of every detail of the event with me … you are simply THE very best!!!
