The couple knew they wanted to wear black tie, and for the guest dress code to be all-black.

“After a typical Saturday lunch at The Mark, a few blocks from our apartment on East 76th Street, we walked into the park to spend the afternoon watching the roller skaters at the skate circle behind Sheep’s Meadow with a bottle of wine,” Andrew remembers. “We love the music they play—and the people watching. We settled into our usual spot under our favorite tree, and when Connor suggested I open the bottle of wine, I reached into the tote bag I had carefully packed that morning and pulled out a small Goyard ring box that contained a custom black ceramic band from Taffin that I’d designed and picked up months earlier. Sitting there on our big black blanket, hand in hand, I asked him to marry me. Tears in his eyes, and a state of shock and surprise, he said, ‘Yes, of course.’ We kissed and opened the special bottle of Dom Pérignon I had packed instead of our usual rosé to celebrate.”
