APRIL 19, 2015

You are invited to a special gathering.  Although the topic of the gathering will be us, what makes the gathering special will be you.  Though we will all see each other there, our gathering will also gather those who we know and love who are not there.  It will have a date, a place and time, and a beginning and an ending, we will meet and gather and be together, and we will all go home; but because you are always with us, our gathering will also go on. C E R E M O N Y Our wedding will be held at 10 a.m. on April 19, 2015, at Jefferson Market Garden, a community garden and public outdoor space located in Greenwich Village in New York City.  The garden is named for the food market located there in the early 19th century, and has been maintained and planted every spring by residents of the city since 1975. (The grounds were also the site of a courthouse, now converted into a public library, and a women's prison, which was demolished in the 1960s and replaced by the garden.  Neighbors reported "around-the-clock noise" as inmates shouted from the windows to their friends and visitors on the streets below.)  Jefferson Market Garden is located on Greenwich Avenue between 6th Avenue and West 10th Street, near the West 4th Street (A, B, C, D, E, F, M) and Christopher Street / Sheridan Square (1) subway stations and the 9th Street PATH station (view on map). R E C E P T I O N Following our ceremony, please join us at the Musket Room, located at 265 Elizabeth Street in Nolita, between Houston and Prince Streets.  Cocktails and appetizers will be served at 11:30 a.m., followed by brunch and dessert. You can reach the Musket Room from Jefferson Market Garden by taking the B, D, F or M subway lines from West 4th Street to Broadway-Lafayette station, by taxi or on foot (view on map).
