Courtney Dolan & Page Leidy
Alexandra Papanicolaou & Edward Shaheen
Sarah Yoder & Teddy Kunhardt
Courtney Dolan and Page Leidy will be married in November 2015 at the Harvard Club in Boston, Massachusetts. “There is something nice about candlelight, fireplaces, and a warm, romantic setting,” they explain. “Boston is a very charming city at that time of year.” The bride (a graduate of Syracuse University from Boston, Massachusetts) and the groom (a graduate of Gettysburg College from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) met when they were set up on a date by Courtney’s colleague at W magazine, who introduced them via email. The match was a success, and for their second date, Page bought tickets to an Old Crow Medicine Show concert in Central Park. Page proposed to Courtney in Palm Beach, Florida, where they were visiting his family. The question was popped during a walk on the beach at sunset. The proposal was followed by pitchers of “Ranch Water” and Rocco’s Tacos. The couple lives on the Upper East Side—but they have downtown personalities!
Alexandra Papanicolaou and Edward Shaheen III will be married on October 4 at the summer home of the bride’s maternal grandparents, the late Tatiana and George Peabody Gardner, Jr., in Prides Crossing, Massachusetts, with a reception following at Myopia Hunt Club. The couple met through a mutual friend in New York. Edward proposed to Alexandra on Via Mizner in Palm Beach, Florida, after the couple finished dinner celebrating their three-year anniversary. Alexandra’s sister, Tatiana Perkin, will be her matron of honor and Edward’s brother, Brett Shaheen, will be his best man. Alexandra grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and in Palm Beach, Florida. She is currently studying for her master’s degree at Columbia University and received her bachelor’s degree from University of Miami. Edward grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. He received a law degree from the University of Virginia Law School, a master’s degree from the London School of Economics and a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University.
Sarah Yoder and Teddy Kunhardt will be married on June 6, 2015, in Locust Valley, New York. The wedding will take place at the Piping Rock Beach Club, where the bride’s grandfather, Henry Darlington, Jr., is a member. The maid of honor will be the bride’s best friend, Claire Learmonth, and the best men will be the groom’s brothers, George Kunhardt and Peter Kunhardt, Jr. The couple plans to honeymoon in Hong Kong and Indonesia. Sarah (a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from Winston-Salem, North Carolina) and Teddy (a graduate of Skidmore College from Chappaqua, New York) met in 2009 in Nantucket, Massachusetts. On July 5, Teddy proposed to Sarah at his house in Hancock, Maine, during a power outage caused by Hurricane Arthur. The couple lives on the Upper West Side with their four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Eleanor Rigby. The groom is the the grandson of Philip Kunhardt, Jr., who was an editor of Life magazine. u
