Zack and Sarah were both vacationing for the first time on the Jersey Shore when their paths crossed one September night at the local watering hole, The Osprey. They were introduced by mutual friends, and Zack offered to buy Sarah a drink. Soon after, they were tearing up the dance floor. Two months later, they were living together in New York City.
Zack and Sarah dated for five years before Zack got down on one knee in the village of Disentis in the Swiss Alps, where his extended family lives. The couple rode the gondola to the top of Caischavedra Mountain. A photographer in disguise captured the moment Zack proposed above the clouds.
Against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset and the New York City skyline, Zack and Sarah said their vows on a rooftop in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where they were married by the bride’s brother, Ben Roberts.
The bride, daughter of Steven and Kimberly Roberts, of Port Washington, New York, graduated from Paul D. Schreiber High School and Vassar College. She is a corporate events producer for Morgan Stanley in Manhattan.
The groom, son of Bruno and Dianne Niklaus of Greenwich, graduated from Greenwich High School and the University of Delaware. He is a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Bali, Indonesia, before returning home to Manhattan.
