Marco & Clinton - New York
"We are the perfect balance and compliment to each other. There’s no one else I could see myself with, let alone spend this much time with!"
About the couple

The Proposal: We talked about it for quite some time. When the laws were changed, Marco suggested “we just do it now." We did get matching rings for our last anniversary though, which felt like an engagement.
Wedding planning time: only a month and a half!
Main priority for wedding: Fashion, of course
Favorite thing about wedding: Having our closest of friends in a intimate setting, at a new destination (SF). It was 3 wonderful and full days.

Wedding advice:
Relax. Don’t fret too much over tiny details. Let go of some of the control. It goes SO FAST the actual day of, that it will probably be a bit of a blur anyway. Invite who YOU want... No exceptions and no sympathy or obligation invites.
We really wanted our guests to have a good time, be independent, but have fun on a mini-vacation. We gave them a basic itinerary and said print it out, then you’re on your own. You can come to these events or not, but we’ll see you at the ceremony. No pressure for anybody. Try and enjoy it.
Look good, eat well, and drink a lot of good wine and you’re good to go.
