The Reception

I had a very clear vision of what I wanted my wedding and reception to entail, says Tiffany, who earned an MFA in Theater Management from Yale School of Drama. The result: a dazzling celebration that was equal parts earnest and engaging. At the reception, there were heartfelt toasts (including one by New York City's mayor, Michael Bloomberg, that encouraged Tiffany and Calvin to embrace everlasting love with, May today be the day that you love each other the least); Southern traditions (a red velvet cake for dessert); and a performance-filled evening (the escort cards were crafted to look like theater tickets, and invited guests into a production titled, Tiffany & Calvin's Harlem Jam).
