Love was in the air for Stephanie Alise Fleischman and Zachary David Kuperman as they embarked on a whirlwind romance that culminated in a magical proposal in Venice, Italy.
The couple, who met on a dating app and quickly realized they had crossed paths before, shared a deep connection that led to a series of romantic adventures. From their first date at a cozy restaurant in the West Village to a spontaneous trip to Mexico where they witnessed a volcano erupt, their relationship blossomed into something truly special.
After moving in together in Gramercy Park, Mr. Kuperman surprised Ms. Fleischman with a trip to Italy, where he planned a picture-perfect proposal at the Giardini della Biennale in Venice. With a photographer capturing the moment, he got down on one knee and recited lines from Walt Whitman’s “Song of the Open Road,” sealing their love with a stunning engagement ring.
Their love story continued with a beautiful wedding at the Rainbow Room in Midtown, where they exchanged vows under a huppah adorned with a rainbow of flowers. The groom, channeling his inner Humphrey Bogart from “Casablanca,” wore an ivory tuxedo jacket as they were joined in matrimony by Rabbi Eytan Hammerman.
As they journeyed back from their mini-moon in Spain, the couple found themselves in a romantic twist reminiscent of a movie scene, with an unexpected layover in Casablanca, Morocco. Enjoying the local cuisine and culture, they shared a moment on the tarmac before boarding their flight home, ready to embark on their next chapter together.
Stephanie and Zachary’s love story is a testament to the power of fate and the magic of true love. With each surprise and adventure, they continue to build a life filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
