We have learned that being there for one another is the most comfort we can give. ”
-MaryGrace
From their first homework session to their windy night proposal in the West Village, MaryGrace knew it was and always would be Martin.

-MARYGRACE
WHILE BEING THE ORGANIZED, PROBLEM SOLVING EXPERT IN THEIR BOND

“Martin is by far the easiest-going individual I have ever known…
He is actually as level-headed as he seems. He is the rutter to my sail and the canvas to my paint.”
-MaryGrace, his bride
POP THE BUBBLY
After being together for 10 years, the two can attest that exploration is one of the greatest joys when it comes to sharing their love.
“Mi amor, when I first met you I knew I had found someone truly special. You have been my partner for more than a decade, we have grown up together. You are the love of my life and I can’t wait to officially become your wife.”
-MaryGrace
Best Man | Matthew
“These two people here are some of the most loving, wonderful and hardworking people that I’ve ever met. I know that they are going to work the hardest at the biggest project they have ever started together, which is their marriage.”
Martin’s Sister’s | Marlene & Maria
“We’re all here to celebrate the love, commitment, and the merging of two beautiful cultures and families.”
The Monastery
Impressed and truly struck by the physical beauty of The Monastery, Marygrace & Martin knew this was the backdrop they needed for the third day of their remarkable celebration.
THE MONASTERY, ORIGINALLY A CHAPEL REIMAGINED INTO A BEAUTIFUL EVENT SPACE, HAS BEEN HOME TO MANY WEDDINGS IN THE PAST BUT NONE QUITE LIKE THIS ONE. MARY GRACE AND MARTINS VIBRANT FLORALS GAVE THE MONASTERY JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ELEGANCE TO STUN ALL OF THEIR GUESTS.

– MaryGrace & Martin

I vow to always take care of you. I promise to be your biggest cheerleader and remind you every day how amazing you are. I vow to continue to grow into whatever life leads me to be, for us. I love you.”
-Martin
WHEN CULTURES COLLIDE
Supported by both of their loving families, MaryGrace & Martin had a beautiful cultural weekend. The second day of their celebration was focused on MaryGrace’s Indian heritage with an abundance of food, happiness and fun!
“ON SATURDAY NIGHT WE DANCED IN A PARADE AT MARYGRACE’S FAMILY HOME. WE DRANK FRESH COCONUT WATER OUT OF A COCNUT. WE WERE BLESSED BY ALL OF OUR GUESTS AND ATE DELICIOUS INDIAN FOOD”
“MARYGRACE IS A PROBLEM SOLVER. SHE CAN HANDLE ANYTHING THAT COMES HER WAY IN A THOUGHTFUL & CONSIDERATE MANNER. SHE IS ORGANIZED & DETAIL ORIENTED. SHE HOLDS OUR LIFE TOGETHER.”
-MARTIN
Today, Tomorrow, Forever
“Martin, you always make
me feel like your number one priority. You shower me in love through the countless ways you take care of me, Hudson (our dog), and our business.”
-MARYGRACE
My wife and I took a ten day trip out of the country with Martin and Marygrace. Martin was always cheerful, always helpful and always so sincere. When we returned home at the airport I recall telling Mary Grace, either you marry him or I will.”
-Father of the Bride | Charles
“Marygrace has genuinely been a guiding light in my life. She has truly been a role model to me.”
-Best Man | Matthew
“We love you, dear brother. As you embark on this next journey and chapter in your life, we couldn’t be more proud of the man that you have become.”
-MARTIN’S SISTERS | MARLENE & MARIA
THEY SAY THAT GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT AND IN THIS CASE IT IS TRUE. MARTIN FOUND THE PERFECT PARTNER IN MARYGRACE.
“On Sunday we had the most beautiful wedding and super fun after party, all in Mt. Adams. The most memorable part of this day for us was our sparkler exit. Having all of our friends and family cheer us on and then getting into a convertible that I have loved since I was a child. It was truly a dream.”
-MARYGRACE
“TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE LOVE ON 3 DIFFERENT LEVELS.
WE HAVE THIS LOVELY YOUNG COUPLE JOINED IN HOLY MATRIMONY.
WE HAVE THESE TWO FAMILIES CELEBRATING AS ONE BIG FAMILY.
Finally we have at least two different cultures celebrating love in their own traditional way.”
-Father of the Bride | Charles
