'I remember going into the bathroom and washing my hands next to somebody who was just having lunch, and there I am, in a veil and an Issey Miyake suit. I don’t even think people noticed, to be honest' TheWeddingFiles
"I always loved the idea of a suit, and my favorite designer is Issey Miyake, all the pleated clothing," Candice says.
Here, we’ve talked with Jay Deshpande, a poet, and Candice Davenport, a marketing executive, two recent San Francisco transplants who miss New York so much they decided to head back east for their wedding this July. Everything about it wasNew York: ceremony at City Hall, pastrami at Katz’s Deli, and pasta at an Italian café with friends — where Candice wore a bright-red Carolina Herrera dress that coordinated with the flower arrangements.
And the different parts of our heritage — Laotian, Jewish, Midwestern, Indian — all somehow come together in the love of pastrami and brisket.When we got in there, they had set up two long tables in the back of the restaurant, and they brought out unending bowls of pickles and plates of meats and all of the breads. All of the pastrami and corned beef that was available to us. And then cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake.
, and just talked about how crazy it was. We met in 2016 through a mutual friend who invited me to one of Jay’s poetry readings. I don’t think either of us intended for it to get serious, but it did. In June 2018, he proposed on our stoop in Fort Greene. It was about an hour before he had to get on a flight for Italy, where he was going to be for the whole summer.I had this artistic residency at a castle in Umbria, and then we moved to California for a writing fellowship I’m doing.
. She’s not a wedding planner, but she runs a production company and she does production for raves, awesome parties, and she’s got great taste. What I really needed was somebody who knew how to throw a party.When we arrived, everybody turned and saw us and started cheers-ing, and it was incredibly emotional. Candice and I said a few words to thank people. And then: We had to have some poetry.
