Makenzie  &  Graham

Our Story

It was love at first sight… well, they actually both internet stalked each other. Graham asked his friends to introduce him to that girl from Instagram because he just knew he had to meet her. Makenzie told just about all her friends that she was going to date that guy she saw on Facebook. Soon enough, in G-Star- the greatest college dive bar to exist- the stars aligned and Makenzie and Graham met.

It didn’t take long for these two to become inseparable. As fate would have it, a few months after meeting, Graham moved to Newport which was Makenzie’s summer spot. After her freshman year of college, when she came home from her summer job, she packed her bag in 10-minutes, and told her mom she was going to spend the weekend at some guy Graham’s house. She ran out the door, and so it began.

Fast forward 5 years later, Makenzie and Graham settled down and made Gramercy their first home. It has become their favorite NYC neighborhood and it only made sense for Graham to propose to Makenzie in Gramercy Park.

And here we are - our next chapters are to be written with all of you. You’re so important to us and we cannot wait to celebrate our special day with you.
