NAMES Juliette Kim and Mark Perez. LIVE IN New York City. OCCUPATIONS She’s a social worker; he’s an investment banker. WHERE THEY MET As students at Johns Hopkins University; they lived in Seattle for several years and recently moved back to the East Coast. WHAT ATTRACTED HIM TO HER She graciously accepted his coat on a cold evening. WHAT ATTRACTED HER TO HIM She could always recognize him around campus because he was the one wearing the sharp suit. HOW THEY GOT ENGAGED Mark popped the question in Seoul, South Korea on April 15, the anniversary of his parents’ wedding. BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTY Twelve of their closest friends gathered in Miami for a joint party that lasted all weekend. NUMBER OF GUESTS 180. WEDDING WINES Domaine Ste Michelle and Hogue Cellars cabernet sauvignon, both from Washington State. BEST MOMENT Prior to the ceremony, when a 40-person choir sang Duruflé’s “Ubi Caritas” and the hymn “All Creatures of Our God and King.” MOST UNEXPECTED MOMENT When a guest was cut off from the bar after having seven White Russians. THE DAY IN THREE WORDS Uplifting, refined, happy. BEST DECISION Hiring Wendy Wojcik, their wedding coordinator. WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY Invited more people; they were overly conscious of their budget and limited their guest list too early. They wished more friends and family were there for their once-in-a-lifetime day. HONEYMOON Japan, Vietnam, China.
