ENGAGEMENTS
Casey Roach & Emilie Kuhn Casey Roach and Emilie Kuhn will be married on October 11 in the gardens of the City Club in Wilmington, North Carolina. The ceremony will be officiated by Reverend Terrence Elsberry of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Bedford, New York, the husband of the groom’s godmother, Nancy Elsberry. The sister of the bride, Jennifer Schade, will serve as matron of honor and the brother of the groom, Taylor Roach, will serve as best man. Also to be in attendance are the couple’s parents: James and Elizabeth Kuhn and John and Joan Roach, Jr. The bride and groom are from towns in Connecticut (North Granby and Greenwich, respectively) but were introduced by a friend when they were living in Chicago, Illinois. Casey proposed to Emilie at their apartment in Brooklyn, New York, where they relocated to in 2013. The groom designed the engagment ring with a diamond that once belonged to his great-grandmother. The bride graduated from Denison University and the groom graduated from St. Lawrence University.
Kirk Bedell & Sally Lynch Kirk Bedell and Sally Lynch will be married on May 10 at the Mill Reef Club in Antigua. Sally visited the Mill Reef Club with her family throughout her youth and the resort has since become special to the groom as well as to the bride. At the wedding, the bride’s sisters, Helen Kingsley Lynch and Maisie Lynch Branson, will serve as maids of honor and the groom’s brother, David Branson Smith, and friend, Turner Westray Battle III, will serve as the best men. The Reverend George Andrews, who married Sally’s parents as well as her aunts and uncles, will be there to participate. The couple met at a fête for a book by Kirk’s mother, author Sally Bedell Smith, at Doubles. Though Kirk lived in St. Louis, the couple wasn’t deterred—they commuted for a year before Kirk relocated to New York, where he was born and raised. Kirk proposed to Sally on a dock off the 17th green at the Fishers Island Club, following an early-morning stroll, with cups of coffee in tow. The bride and groom both graduated from Trinity College.
Jennifer Stocker & Scott Riebe Jennifer Stocker and Scott Riebe will be married on October 18 at the Coral Beach and Tennis Club in Bermuda—the couple’s go-to for vacations because of how romantic it is. The bride, designer of the resortwear brand Sail to Sable, will be designing the dresses of the 13 bridesmaids—how lucky are they! The service and reception will take place outside at the club and the maids of honor will be Brooke Shepard and Jodie Stocker; the best men will be Mac Bayly and Thomas Knechtel. The couple met as children in Darien, Connecticut, but started dating after they reconnected at a Halloween party in New York City. Scott proposed to Jennifer at the couple's apartment on the Upper East Side over a meal of Jennifer's favorite cuisine, sushi. He presented her with a box from Monograms Off Madison with her “new” intitals. Inside, an engagement ring that she couldn't say no to. The bride graduated from Loyola College and the groom graduated from Villanova University. u
