The Shakespeare Garden Elopement of Katherine & Shai | A Cherry Blossom Wedding in Central Park

English:
This is the romantic Shakespeare Garden Elopement of Katherine and Shai who met, of all places, on a cruise ship on which they both were working. Shai was in charge of security on board and apparently had a very thorough questionnaire for his fallow passenger Katherine. Well, what can I say, sparks where flying and Katherine found the key to unlock Shai’s heart in the middle of the ocean. Katherine, who lives in Miami, and Shai, who is residing in Israel, picked New York City for their ‘I Dos’. Families and friends joined when these two tied the knot on a gorgeous spring day in Shakespeare Garden. After the ceremony we walked through Central Park with it’s Cherry trees in full bloom. Katherine and Shai, thank you so much for letting me be part of this special day. You made this day memorable.

German:
Heute gibt es die romantische Hochzeit von Katherine und Shai im Shakespeare Garden zu sehen. Die zwei haben sich auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff kennengelernt. Shai war zuständig für die Sicherheit an Bord und er hat Katherine einen langen Fragenkatalog ausfüllen lassen. Da war natürlich kein Hintergedanke dabei, oder?! Und so haben sich die zwei mitten auf dem Ozean ineinander verliebt. Katherine lebt in Miami und Shai lebt derzeit noch in Israel. New York hatten sie sich gemeinsam ausgesucht um hier im Big Apple ihre Hochzeit zu feiern. Vor den Augen von Freunden und Familie gaben sich die beiden im Shakespeare Garden das Ja-Wort. Hinterher liefen wir noch ein wenig durch den Central Park wo die Kirschbäume in voller Blüte standen. Was für ein fantastischer Tag mit Katherine und Shai.

20 years!!
7,305 days.
175,320 hours.
10,519,200 minutes.
And around 631 million seconds of putting up with each other.

Today, exactly 20 years ago, I married my best friend. And I had no idea what the next 20 years would bring.

I love Jackie more today than ever. Which says a lot, because I already liked her quite a bit before. She is my best friend, my business partner, my favorite person to do absolutely nothing with, and somehow the only human alive who can handle my grumpy moods. No really, that alone should win her an award or something. 

When we met, I was still an architect and Jackie was a musical theater actor. Neither of us could have imagined that 20 years later we would be running our own wedding business together, celebrating love for a living, and helping over 1,200 couples create their own love stories. 

We literally spend all our time together. Business, travel, life...and I still wake up every day wanting more of it. That is either true love or early signs of insanity. Probably both.

And to think it all started when I walked down the stairs at Bethesda Terrace and saw her sitting by the fountain…in those ugly pink pants. (Yes, they were that bad. Whole nother story. Ask me about it sometime.)

Twenty years later, we have built this wild, beautiful, unpredictable life together. There have been plot twists, bad haircuts, flight delays, lost luggage, and a whole lot of laughter. And I would not trade a single second of it.

Here is to the next 20 years of chaos, love, and whatever else we get ourselves into. ❤️

If you made it to the end of this post, tell us how we know and met you. Because guess what…you are part of our story too. And we want to hear about it. Thank you for being an integral part of Team Reinking.
