Stephanie Halovanic and Samuel Centrella
Our dream wedding is simple: fantastic outfits, great food, summertime and you. And the backdrop? No other place than our home, New York City. We know it’s a trek for many of you, and we hope you can make a trip of it. See a show, visit a museum or just walk and walk and walk. Our wedding theme: a great night out in the greatest city in the world. Prepare to party!
