This Week’s Wedding Announcements

Miriam Gottfried and Trevor Williams

Miriam Gottfried and Trevor Williams’ eyes met in April 2016 on a Manhattan-bound B subway train from Brooklyn during the morning rush hour.

“This beautiful woman had the biggest eyeballs I had ever seen,’’ he said. “She was making googly eyes at me.”

Ms. Gottfried did not see it that way at all. “He was looking right at me and smiled,” she said.

Mr. Williams watched amused as a sort of pantomime played out, with her balancing a box, reading a book and holding an animated exchange with a woman next to her about a big suitcase. “She was like Mary Pickford in a silent movies,’’ he said. “Big eyes and curly hair.’’

Mr. Williams, determined to make a move before he got off the train, said he enlisted a “curmudgeonly older woman” to help pass his business card to her.

“‘He wants me to give this to you,’’’ he recalled the woman saying as she turned Ms. Gottfried. ‘Do you know him?’”

Ms. Gottfried replied, “I’ll take it.’’ She blushed as she read the note on the card saying how adorable she was.

“At the moment of peak embarrassment I was able to escape the train at Broadway-Lafayette,’’ he said, and winked at Ms. Gottfried as he got off.

She did a Google search on him as soon as she got to the office, and said later at a “dignified hour” she emailed him. “You might be surprised to learn that you are not the first guy to give me his card on the M.T.A.,’’ she said. “But you are probably the one who made me smile the most.”

After a week of flirty emails, she wrote: “I love emailing, but when are you going to ask me out.” A couple of days later they met at the Crown Inn bar, near her new apartment in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

“A minute into our first date there was an instant sense of familiarity,’’ he said, and when he slipped away to the bar the song “My Girl” played over the speakers. “I sang it to myself, then I looked up and she was singing it, and then we smiled and bopping our heads sang it to each other.’’

They began dating, and two years later moved in together.

Alix Udelson and Justin LaPoten

Alix Leah Udelson and Justin Chase LaPoten were introduced in October 2014 through the dating app JSwipe, but told most people they met through mutual friends.

“At the time you could register through Facebook, and it would show Facebook friends you shared with the other person,” Ms. Udelson said, who technically said meeting through mutual friends was “still kind of true.”

“I would not have gone out if we did not have one mutual friend,’’ she said. (One of them is the M.C. at their rehearsal dinner).

The couple went to a bar in Houston the next Saturday afternoon, and then out again that evening to another bar with some mutual friends.

“I just remember her incredible laugh,” Mr. LaPoten said. “I thought she was gorgeous, and we liked a lot of the same things.”

As they started going out, Ms. Udelson anxiously awaited results of the Texas bar, which were to be released in November, but Mr. LaPoten said he “just had a strong feeling she was going to pass.’’

“I knew that Justin was special when he sent me a bouquet congratulating me on passing the Texas bar exam before the results had even been announced,” she said. “He’s reinforced the confidence in me that I never had in myself.’’

Their different political differences also soon came to light.

“I’m George Conway and he’s Kellyanne,’’ said Ms. Udelson, referring to the White House counselor whose husband is an antagonist of her boss, President Trump. “At the end of the day we want the same things for our country. ”

There was no doubt of Ms. Udelson, and her family’s unwavering support for Mr. LaPoten as he went back and forth to Pennsylvania to visit his father, who had battled kidney cancer for 12 years, and was then in the last stages of the disease.

“He was my best friend in the entire world, Mr. LaPoten said. “It was the most tumultuous time in my life. She was the bright spot of warmth and love and made it a little easier.”
