Attorneys Katrina and Web met, as they say, “in true DC style—as summer associates at a law firm.” They started out as office mates—she somewhat resentful that Web was assigned the better desk next to the window, and he was struck by the clacking of her “meticulously painted” nails against her keyboard, and later her “encyclopedia knowledge of South Park.” A friendship—one that included many very serious and competitive foosball games at Player’s Club—quickly developed, and though their lives initially took different directions after that summer, they say no one was surprised except themselves when they started dating four years later. A year and a half later, Web proposed along the C&O Canal in Georgetown.
Before a larger wedding in Italy, the pair married in front of 16 guests last spring at the Extra Fancy Penthouse in DC. Katrina and Web say they wanted a “rich, romantic aesthetic” that also incorporated soft spring colors and flowers. The result was a “moody, springtime romance”-themed celebration, decorated in a color palette of dark red, blush, and chartreuse.
The invitation included a funny nod to how they met at work with the text “When you arrive, knock on the door and let them know you’re here for the Covington summer associate event.” The menu included a cocktail hour of passed fried chicken, sashimi, and Jell-O shots, followed by what Web called a “masterful yet unserious” seven-course dinner from Pineapple & Pearls. Other menu items included a “Thrilla in Manila” wedding cake from Pineapple & Pearls, and late-night cheeseburgers in to-go boxes for guests to take home. “The benefit of a small guest list,” they say, “was the ability to maximize our food, drinks, and decor.” In the end, they described the wedding as a Victorian springtime fever dream. Following the intimate affair, the couple mini-mooned at Keswick Hall in Charlottesville before gearing up for a much larger celebration in Puglia.
