Sean & Sahil won the Essential Worker Wedding Giveaway | New York First Responder Elopement

The essential worker wedding giveaway of Sean & Sahil. Last year the Langham Hotel approached us and asked if Team Reinking was interested in donating our services for a giveaway. The Langham was planning to give a dream wedding to a first responder, or as we like to call them here in New York City: Freakin’ heroes! In the end Sean and Sahil won the giveaway. Sean had been working as a clinical researcher at a New York City hospital during the pandemic and was on the frontline of the Covid pandemic when it hit hard here in the ‘Big Apple’.

We started our day at the Langham where we picked up the happy couple in a New York Checker Cab. First stop was Grand Central. It was raining pretty hard that day so we tried to stay dry inside the terminal and hoped for better weather. Unfortunately the weather did not improve but that couldn’t keep Sean and Sahil from having the time of their lives.

After our photo session the Checker Cab dropped us back off at the Langham where Jackie performed a beautiful ceremony, followed by a Champagne toast and a romantic dinner that the Langham had organized. We then left the happy newlyweds as they stayed at the hotel for their wedding night.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the giveaway. It was truly humbling to be part of this amazing day for these New York heroes.

Dies ist der “essential worker wedding giveaway” von Sean & Sahil. Letztes Jahr kam das Langham Hotel auf uns zu und fragte, ob Team Reinking daran interessiert sei, unsere Dienste für ein Verlosung zu spenden. Das Langham hatte vor, einem Covid Ersthelfer eine Traumhochzeit zu geben, oder wie wir sie hier in New York City gerne nennen: Freakin ‘Heroes! Am Ende gewannen Sean und Sahil das Traumpaket. Sean hatte während der Pandemie als klinische Forscherin in einem New Yorker Krankenhaus gearbeitet und war an vorderster Front der Covid-Pandemie hier in New York.

Wir begannen unseren Tag im Langham, wo wir das glückliche Paar in einem New York Checker Cab abholten. Erster Halt war Grand Central. Es regnete an diesem Tag ziemlich stark, also versuchten wir im Terminal trocken zu bleiben und hofften auf besseres Wetter. Leider hat sich das Wetter nicht verbessert, aber das konnte Sean und Sahil nicht davon abhalten den Spass ihres Lebens zu haben.

Nach unserer Fotosession brachte uns das Checker Cab zurück zum Langham, wo Jackie eine wunderschöne Zeremonie durchführte, gefolgt von einem Champagner-Toast und einem romantischen Abendessen, das das Langham organisiert hatte. Wir verließen dann die glücklichen Jungvermählten, als sie für ihre Hochzeitsnacht im Hotel blieben.

Vielen Dank an alle, die an der Verlosung beteiligt waren. Es war wirklich fantastisch ein Teil dieses erstaunlichen Tages für diese New Yorker Helden gewesen zu sein.

Working on something new for our couples. And this one took a while to get right…
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.

We got paired with these two at our 6:54 AM tee time this morning @gallopinghillgolfcourse and right before we teed off, they mentioned they might stop to snap a quick photo for their pregnancy announcement.

Well, what are the odds they got paired with a photographer? So in between bogeys and lost balls, we knocked out an impromptu mini photo shoot. First time for everything, and golf magic at its finest.

Easily the best scorecard moment of the day. 😂
