There are many skeptics when it comes to the possibility of finding true love on the Internet, but for Melissa van Velsor Mahoney and Christopher John Wirth, it was a match made in heaven. After a month of e-mailing back and forth, they discovered that they had many friends in common from high school. The bride is a graduate of Rye Country Day School, and the groom is a graduate of Brunswick School. The two decided to meet in person at Starbucks. Six months later, Chris proposed at a romantic candlelit dinner.
The Reverend Dr. James B. Brasel officiated at the candlelight service held at the Rye Presbyterian Church. A reception followed at the Apawamis Club, where the Reverend Dr. Joseph bestowed a special blessing upon the bride and groom. He had also married the bride’s parents at the Rye Presbyterian Church thirty years earlier.
