Anastasia Josephine Heavey & Walker Christian Lambrecht’s Wedding

Anastasia (Ana) and Walker met while students at Northeastern University, at the housewarming party of a mutual friend. They began dating during the covid lockdown—no easy feat—and the difficulty was compounded by Ana’s then-employment at Boston Children’s Hospital Emergency Department. But the pair were up for the challenge, and not much could keep them apart after their first meeting.

Four years into dating, Walker proposed at Crowe’s Pasture, a nature preservation in Massachusetts. Rev. Fr. George Dragas officiated at the ceremony, a traditional Greek Orthodox service in the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England, steps away from where the couple first met. The bride’s brother, James Heavey, served as the Koumbaro, the best man in a Greek Orthodox wedding who assists with the ceremony.

A reception followed at The Tower, a Romanesque Revival four-story historic venue that was once part of the Armory of the First Corps of Cadets. The couple shared their first dance to “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young. The bride wore a bias-cut silk gown first worn by her great-grandmother in 1936. Her mother, Kia Tsakos Heavey, also wore the dress when she married Jim Heavey, our Greenwich Chief of Police.

The bride, daughter of Jim and Kia Heavey of Greenwich, graduated from Greenwich High School and Northeastern University. She is a registered nurse for Boston College.

The groom, son of Gregory Lambrecht and Lee Manuel of Massachusetts, graduated from Natick High School and Northeastern University. He is a data engineer for Recorded Future in Boston.

The newlyweds honeymooned in New Orleans before returning home to Boston.
