Seven years after they met via her brother—however earlier than they had been engaged—Christina and Max started working with a marriage planner to seek out the right spot to marry. Throughout a web site go to in DC, Max shocked Christina with a proposal on the Georgetown waterfront. What resulted was a three-day, fashion-filled late-’70s-throwback wed-ding weekend for the ages.
The affair started on a Thursday on the Conrad lodge with a ceremony within the firm of rapid household, adopted by an intimate dinner. On Friday, the pair hosted a welcome dinner with each rapid and prolonged household, then shared welcome drinks with everybody on their 100-person visitor listing. On Saturday, it was a Studio 54–themed celebration on the Showroom. For the design, Christina posed a query: What would it not be like if Yves Saint Laurent walked right into a disco? Decor, meals, music—their planner, she says, “interpreted and executed it fantastically.” The venue was divided into two monochromatic tablescapes, one white and one black, with suspended disco balls, sequin curtains, and monochromatic floral preparations. 4 phrases the newlyweds used to explain the Saturday-night fete: “Electrical, stylish, high-design, and private.”
