Alexandra and John met their freshman year of college and bonded over a love of the outdoors—backpacking, rock climbing and skiing. They were the best of friends going on adventures until they took that friendship to the next level and began dating their junior year.
Alexandra’s closest girlfriend (and future maid of honor, Sophie Lewis) played a key role in the proposal. Sophie persuaded Alexandra to take a day off of work to see a new exhibit at the Met. When they arrived, they went up to the roof garden, where John was waiting, ready to ask his girlfriend the most important question of their lives.
Rev. Patrick Collins officiated at the ceremony at Riverside Yacht Club, where a reception followed. At the end of the night, the newlyweds exited the club through a tunnel of sparklers held by friends and family and boarded a boat with champagne in hand.
The bride, daughter of Edward and Jean Larkin III of Greenwich, graduated from Greenwich High School and the College of the Holy Cross. Alexandra works in marketing for Goldman Sachs in Manhattan.
The groom, son of John and Michelle Williams III of California, graduated Saint Margaret’s Episcopal School and the College of the Holy Cross. John works in finance for Cerberus Capital in Manhattan.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Lake Annecy, France. They call New York City home.
