A New York Destination Wedding Inspired by Heritage

Theme: “From the letter-pressed invitations to the calligraphed table numbers, our heritage was the main inspiration,” explains Cynthia. “We brought in key elements from Trinidad where Richad grew up, from Togo, West Africa, where my father grew up and from Quebec where my mother and I grew up, throughout the wedding.”

Guests: 120

Her best moment: “Our first dance to Al Green “Let’s Stay Together” we sang out loud with everyone, we laughed, we cried, by far, my favorite moment,” says Cynthia.

His best moment: “Seeing Cynthia in her dress walking down the aisle,” says Richad.

The day in 3 words: Extraordinary. Glorious. Perfect.

Honeymoon: “Egypt. It has been Richad’s lifelong dream to explore the archeological sites along the Nile,” says Cynthia.
