Kaia and Hunter had their first date on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Kaia was immediately drawn to Hunter’s playful curiosity, while Hunter appreciated the fact that her drink of choice was bourbon on the rocks. What could’ve been a quick round of drinks turned into five hours of conversation and the beginning of a special bond. They dated for three and a half years before Hunter proposed in Fort Green Park near their home in Brooklyn.
The wedding weekend kicked off with four days of the two families together at an old sea captain’s estate in Cape Cod. Because the guest list was immediate family only, the couple was able to really connect with everyone present. Guests delivered a series of touching (and very funny) toasts. The newlyweds reflected that “there’s something magical about getting roasted at your own wedding, while also being moved to tears by kind words from the people who know you best.”
The bride’s sister, Riva Simmons, officiated at the ceremony at a home in Osterville, Massachusetts. The groom’s family will host a Greenwich reception to congratulate the couple.
The bride, daughter of Cheryl Simmons and the late William Simmons of Rhode Island, graduated from Moses Brown School and Stanford University and received her master’s from Harvard University. Kaia works for
L Catterton, a private equity firm, in Greenwich.
The groom, son of Steven and Bobbi Eggers of Greenwich, graduated from Greens Farms Academy, Rice University and Franklin & Marshall College. Hunter works in finance for One Acre Fund.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Lake Tahoe before returning home to Pelham in New York.
