Haley Joel & Matthew Satnick
American Museum of Natural History
April 8, 2006
Although Haley and Matt were together for two years before they married, their courtship required a commitment from the very start: Haley, a television and movie actress, was living in Los Angeles, while Matt, a private equity fund associate, was residing in New York. “The beginning of our relationship,” Haley says, “was made up of flying cross-country every weekend”—which, as anyone who has ever taken the red-eye knows, demands nothing short of true love. The formerly bi-coastal couple became engaged during a Napa Valley vacation. Matt had planned to propose in a vineyard, but after spending 48 hours with the ring in his pocket, he couldn’t wait any longer and asked Haley to marry him in the garden behind their cottage only minutes after they had checked in. Eight months to the day—and many thousands of miles later—they were wed.
