Gaby Novogratz and Zach Spohler’s nuptials felt straight out of Alice in Wonderland—and even included a striped circus tent.
In 2008, eighth grader Gaby Novogratz did something bold: she friended Zach Spohler, a cute boy from another New York private school, on Facebook. For nine months, they scrolled through each other’s tagged photos and wrote on each other’s “walls.” Finally, after what Gaby calls some “expertly orchestrated high school scheming,” they met for the first time outside the Pinkberry on 82nd Street and 2nd Avenue. Then, they promptly kissed around the corner.
“Surrounded by so much natural beauty, the park had an atmosphere that was both intimate and expansive. It felt like the perfect place to host such a meaningful day in our lives.” Gaby walked down the aisle in a custom three-piece drop-waist gown with a bubble hem by Danielle Frankel to “Gigue 6.6,” Peter Gregson’s modern cello recomposition of Bach’s final suite. Zach waited for her in a Ralph Lauren tuxedo and a vest made from Dior scarves under an Alexander Calder–inspired chuppah.
