A Brooklyn, New York Wedding Filled with Love and Intentionality // Demar + Kirsten
An intimate Marlow Events celebration full of love, connection, and unforgettable moments.
When you think of a Brooklyn, New York wedding, you might picture city skylines, historic charm, and an undeniable energy in the air—and D + K’s day had all of that, plus so much more. Their wedding at Marlow Events wasn’t just beautiful; it was personal, meaningful, and unforgettable in every way.
The Story That Led to Their Brooklyn, New York Wedding
Like so many modern love stories, theirs began online—but what unfolded after was something out of a movie. K, originally from New York City, once studied abroad in Australia and had made a deal with her mom: if she hadn’t found a job within two years of graduating, she could move back to NYC. Two years later, she was officially back in the city.
At the same time, D had always dreamed of living in New York. Just before the pandemic, he made the leap, too. Instead of Europe, instead of other plans, fate placed them both in the same city at the same time. And the rest? Pure magic.
A Proposal Full of Heart
One of the most touching moments leading up to their Brooklyn, New York, wedding was when D met K’s parents for the first time. Because of the pandemic, they hadn’t had the chance to meet in person until later. But when that time finally came, D planned a moment none of us will ever forget.
He asked to meet her parents, and with courage and thoughtfulness, he told them—in ASL—that he wanted to marry their daughter. Yes, he had learned sign language just to ask them that question. Can you even imagine the emotions in that moment? It was love, respect, and intention all wrapped into one.
The Wedding Day at Marlow Events
When it came to the wedding itself, D + K wanted something intimate, warm, and purposeful—and that’s exactly what they created. Their Marlow Events, Brooklyn, New York, wedding was a gathering filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt speeches.
One of the most memorable was from K’s mom, who recalled the first time she met D and how he had spoken about marriage even then. The entire room was filled with happy tears as she shared their story.
Every detail of their wedding reflected their love: the cozy atmosphere, the intentional guest list, the meaningful words spoken, and the way they honored their families throughout the day.
