Catherine and Emmanuel’s story feels like destiny. Two individuals born 8 days and 5,000 miles apart were brought together by the benefits of modern dating algorithms. The couple met at Hendricks Tavern in October 2012 – their first date.
Catherine and Emmanuel felt the chemistry at Hendricks. They both realized it was love on their second date. Manny planned a progressive evening and would not tell Catherine the agenda. The couple met for cocktails and appetizers at an Asian fusion restaurant in the theater district. The next stop was the Eugene O’Neill Theatre to see The Book of Mormon. Dinner followed at Catch in the Meatpacking District. They wanted a cozier setting to wrap up the evening and made it to Beekman Bar and Books till closing. Life hasn’t been the same since that night!
The proposal. Manny surprised Catherine with a trip to Vegas. Catherine thought they were heading to North Carolina and was shocked that their short weekend getaway was about to turn into an adventure. The deed was done during a romantic dinner fountain side at Picasso. Manny waited for Con Partiro by Bocceli to be played during a fountain show as the couple sipped cocktails. The hopeless romantic had it all planned out to the minute! Catherine was asked to marry Manny standing by the rail ingesting the magic.
