Kelsey and Matthew were married on July 22, 2023, at the DC War Memorial in the heart of Washington, D.C., choosing an intimate civil ceremony shared with close family before their larger celebration in Italy. Officiated by a family friend—who also happens to be a judge—the ceremony felt deeply personal and quietly elegant, unfolding in a refined palette of whites and lush greens.
A moving Jewish blessing invited seven family members to offer heartfelt words, followed by a tender ring exchange that included Matt’s daughters. Adding an extraordinary layer of meaning, the bride crafted her own gown over the course of 200 hours and designed the florals herself, weaving artistry, intention, and romance into a day that felt both timeless and profoundly personal.
