Annie & David’s Key West Wedding
Featured in the Fall/Winter Edition of The Knot Magazine

Annie and David have a mutual friend to thank for “putting them in the same room” as the couple likes to say, during a Christmas party in 2006. It didn’t take an outside introduction for Annie and David to catch each other’s interest. By the end of the night, David was serenading Annie at a karaoke bar, and the rest is history. “We were pretty much in love,” says Annie of their first meeting. “We are truly the most perfect people for each other.”

The Date November 8

One year later, Annie was heading to Ohio for Christmas to see her family and David dropped by Annie’s apartment to deliver her gift. When he handed her a large box, Annie immediately noticed how light it was but tried not to get too excited. After digging through layers of ribbon, gift-wrap and tissue paper, she finally came across a small ring box. As soon as the box touched Annie’s hand, David popped the question — almost exactly a year after he hit just the right note at the Christmas party. Even though they live in New York, the couple decided to marry in Key West because Annie spent much of her life there and always loved the city’s “great attitude about life.” She combined fall colors with the spirit of Key West with a green, orange and espresso palette.
