Nicolas is French; you're a New Yorker, living in London, with a Cuban mother. How did you honor your heritages?
Two-thirds of the readings were in French. In France, it's common for the groom to be escorted down the aisle by his mother, so we did that. My mother was escorted by Nicolas’s father. We also had the traditional French wedding cake called pièce montée. We made sure that the band could play Cuban rhythms.

Being a ballerina, the music must have been a critical aspect.
During the ceremony, we played Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, which is not unusual but particularly special for us because it was the music I had danced to one of the first times Nicolas saw me on stage.
