Winter is definitely here! On a cold Saturday afternoon, we took a stroll through downtown New Haven with Jessica and Anthony. These two were troopers that day (along with Michael who was battling a god awful head cold). Regardless, we love it down there… you get the perfect mix of grunge and beauty. After doing a few setups, we took a quick break and enjoyed a nice glass of wine at Temple Grill (side note: Michael and I had our first date there).
Jessica and Anthony are both SCSU alumni just like me (Marcie). We had a great time reminiscing about all the college bar hopping days. Don’t we all miss open bar and well drinks? Anyways, congratulations Jessica and Anthony! We are looking forward to seeing you both again and cannot wait for the wedding!!

Mark and I (Michael) have known each other for quite a few years now. We met by chance one night in New Haven when I bumped into one of my fraternity brothers from the University of Tampa (soooooo random!). Turns out, Mark was his roommate in LA but was now living in New Haven. We became good friends and so the story began…
For as long as I have known Mark, he has always been a very gifted tennis pro. A few years back he took a new job and re-located to North Carolina. It wasn’t long before he met Jessica. I can still remember the IM Mark sent me on Facebook telling me he was getting married. Now that you have the back story, lets quickly get into the wedding!
The ceremony was held at the Seymour St. John Chapel at Choate Rosemary. From writing their own vows to Mark’s sister performing, it was pretty amazing (side note, Mark’s sister is a singer / songwriter for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular). From there we headed to the Glastonbury Hills Country Club. Talk about a party! We could go on and on about the reception but this post is long enough as it is. What we can say is…. epic Jay Z entrance, hysterical photo booth, outrageous dancing….need we say more?
Congratulations Mark and Jessica!! We are so happy for you and hope to see you soon!
