Alexandra grew up in Singapore, attending the Singapore American School (SAS), while Joe was raised in Greenwich. When Joe moved to Singapore, a mutual friend—who lived there but summered in Mead Point, just next door to Joe—shared a list of people he should meet. Alexandra was on that list. That simple recommendation would spark something extraordinary. Alexandra and Joe found themselves on their first date at a cozy rooftop gin bar overlooking the Singapore River.
The couple went on to make unforgettable memories. They climbed Mount Batur in Bali, walked with Komodo dragons in Indonesia, fed elephants at a sanctuary in Koh Samui, stayed in beachside huts across Thailand, dove in the turquoise waters off Malé and ate their way across Sydney.
Eventually Joe moved back to Greenwich, while Alexandra stayed in Singapore to finish her work. Despite distance between them, their love continued to grow. Soon Alexandra joined Joe in Greenwich, where he proposed at the private dock in Mead Point—a quiet, cherished spot where they often watched the sunset. The proposal was made even more special by both families, who had traveled from afar to be there for the milestone.
Alexandra and Joe celebrated their marriage with two unforgettable weddings that reflected their global roots and shared spirit of adventure. The first was in the Fari Islands in the Maldives at Patina Resorts. Over six days, guests enjoyed floating breakfasts in villa pools, a welcome dinner in the sand, a spirited paddle tournament won by the bride and groom, a rehearsal party aboard a traditional Maldivian Dhoni and a sunset beach ceremony.
Following the tropical celebration, Alexandra and Joe planned a second wedding weekend in Greenwich. The father of the groom, Joe Kelly Sr., officiated at the ceremony at the Kelly home, where the reception followed.
The bride, daughter of Dan and Lori McConaghy of Singapore, graduated from Singapore American School and Simmons University. Alexandra is a real estate agent for Sotheby’s International Realty in Greenwich.
The groom, son of Joe and Jill Kelly of Greenwich, graduated from Greenwich High School and Penn State University. Joe is a nuclear fuel broker for Uranium Markets.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Malé, Maldives, before returning home to Greenwich.
