A Reception on the Moonlit Hudson

David Raymond Flickinger and Jane Hamilton Urness were married on Nov. 4 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan. The Rev. Canon Patti Welch officiated, and a reception followed at La Marina on the Hudson River just north of the George Washington Bridge.

The groom is a son of Catherine and Burt Flickinger of East Hampton and New York City. The bride’s parents are Sarah Spurgin Witte and Breck Witte of New York City and the late Scott Urness. 

Mr. Flickinger is an associate in the finance department at the law firm of Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman. He earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in 2013 and a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in 2010.

Ms. Urness attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and is an assistant teacher at the Bright Beginnings preschool. 

The couple met at a New Year’s Eve party.

Ms. Urness wore an evergreen vintage gown with a velvet top and satin skirt. She was attended by Delia Bridges of Brooklyn as her flower girl.

Mr. Flickinger’s best man was his brother, Nicholas Flickinger of New York City. 

Their reception offered a full-moon view of the George Washington Bridge. Afterward, the couple arranged for a Circle Line boat to pick up guests at the La Marina pier and transport them down the Hudson for nighttime view of the city lights and the lit-up Statue of Liberty.

The couple honeymooned in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and are now back at home on West 42nd Street in Manhattan.
