A Whimsical Pink-and-Blue Wedding in New York City

Justine and Eamonn

From New York to Africa and Alaska, Justine Delaney, a DJ and pastry chef, and Eamonn Vitt, a physician specialist in family and HIV medicine, returned (with frequent-flyer miles) to their Manhattan home for a summer wedding that was big on life, love, and really good music.

After the ceremony, the happy couple posed in NYC. Justine wore a Jenny Packham gown.
