2003

Welcome to spring for those of you finally (I hope) digging out of Snowmaggedon 2010. A lot of romantic news to report for this blissful time of year!

I hear first from Betsy Coleman McKeen that Kate Szilagyi and Scott MacArthur ’02 were engaged on Christmas morning in Chicago. Then Lara (Kagan) Port wrote to say, “A very belated note to let you know I was married last July to Benjamin Port, UVA ’04. We met at business school at Darden and were married near my hometown at the Stamford Yacht Club in Stamford, Connecticut. Mary Fraga, Melissa Penn Post, Nicole (Hauptman) Siegel and Vanessa Frey were all in the wedding party and a bunch of other Dartmouth people were there, including Danielle Avedon, Jessica Feingold, Emily Turner, Hillary Shaw, Kate Reibel, Cory Siegel, Fred Post, Cody Pietras and Drew Lambert.

The news about Kimberly Sarah Ballard- Perrin ’02 and Peter Kimball Brewitt was also forwarded along. They were married June 20, 2009, at Yosemite National Park in California. Many Dartmouth alums were in attendance for the special day and the weather was reportedly glorious. Both Kim and Peter are currently in Ph.D. programs at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Tatiana Fernandes Amlin sent along this update: “I married Mark Amlin, Syracuse ’02, in August in my hometown of Scarsdale, New York. Courtney Bigda was my maid of honor and Heather Boldt Gill was a bridesmaid! Also dancing to the best band ever at the Glen Island Harbor Club were Farah Maloof ’02, Jill Powers, Megan Bussey ’04, Lauren Gee, Whitney Jamison, Jessica Feingold, Tim Faller and Jim Kelly. Mark and I are living with our puppy Buster in N.Y.C., where Mark is finishing business school at NYU and I am a prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.” Courtney quickly wrote to add, “The wedding was full of shenanigans, Tati looked absolutely gorgeous and our bridesmaid dresses are actually re-wearable!” Those are the kind of details I crave, people!

Many congratulations to all the happy couples and all the best in the future. And remember, even if you’re single like me your updates are still appreciated! I might not be in love, but I loved my recent mini-reunion with Susan Roy and Kerry McGraw ’04 in beautiful Palo Alto, California. Take care!
