When my friends Osvaldo and Kara decided to get married, they wanted to recreate the moment that sparked everything: their chance meeting on an MTA bus headed to Le Bain, where my Select Summer Friday series was happening.

We secured a private M14 bus from the MTA. Transformed public transportation into intimate celebration. Designed a full-route ride that carried guests through the city before stopping just a block from where the couple first connected. Every detail told their story. Vintage clothing. Bodega roses wrapped in the New York Post. Live-streaming for friends who couldn't make it. A regular city bus route became the backdrop for something extraordinary.

Together we created a moment that captured the heart of New York. The spontaneity. The unexpected connections. The beauty in everyday city life. Their story traveled even further than that bus route—picked up by the Associated Press, covered by The New York Times, NY Post, NY1, international publications, and even making an appearance on Desus & Mero. It was our citywide love letter to spontaneity, romance, and the unexpected magic of New York.
