Michael and Raleigh married at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square, just steps from where their story began on Marlborough Street. Back Bay has always been a sentimental neighborhood for them, which is how their dog ended up with the name Copley!
A nor’easter rolled in on their wedding weekend, and while umbrellas turned inside out on Boylston Street, everyone stayed warm and dry inside the library. Raleigh, an equestrian showjumper, and Michael, a data engineer at Stripe, are big music lovers, so a live band was a top priority. A horn parade led guests from dinner in Bates Hall to dancing in the Abbey Room, where Raleigh changed into a rhinestone mini dress and ballet flats to party. The night ended with espresso martinis passed around to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” and guests left with a wrapped book as favors.
