Congrats to Elizabeth and Christian on their marriage! This amazing couple met as University of Pittsburgh undergrads, through mutual friends at Peter’s Pub. They both lived in Shadyside post-grad, and dated, always walking by Henne. Christian grew up in Sewickley, and his dad went to Central Catholic, so when he met John Henne he knew it’d be the jeweler for his future bride’s ring.
Tying the knot
Christian and Elizabeth got married in Philadelphia at St David’s Episcopal Church of Radnor, the church where Elizabeth had grown up in and called a second home.
Before the ceremony, Elizabeth and her girls got ready in her childhood home. That morning, she opened a beautiful gift from her groom: a gold engraved clasp bracelet with a diamond on the front and her initials + wedding date engraved on the back. It was the most special gift, beautifully advised and created by Henne Jewelers.
After the beautiful ceremony by her longtime priest, the couple took a vintage Rolls Royce (originally a town car in Nottingham) to their reception on the water downtown, at The Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia. Then they rocked out all night to The Elites, a DWP Factory band from NYC, and after-partied at The Radnor Hotel!

Future plans
After their honeymoon in St Barts, Elizabeth and Christian settled into a home in the city of Pittsburgh, just a few blocks away from Henne Jewelers. They are thrilled to call Henne their Jeweler for Life!
Why Henne?
Both Christian and Elizabeth both lived in Shadyside post-graduation. While they dated all along Walnut street, they always walked by Henne and ogled at the fine jewelry. Christian grew up in Sewickley, and his dad went to Central Catholic, so when he met John Henne and felt a true Pittsburgh two-degrees-of-separation connection, he knew it’d be the jeweler for his future bride’s ring. They share that they couldn’t be more thrilled to have had William and the team on their journey. They helped Christian completely surprise his bride with a gorgeous engagement ring beyond her dreams, and made wedding band shopping an incredibly special moment.
