Abigail & Jakub in Philadelphia, PA

Their wedding style reflected a modern take on tradition and began with a color palette they dubbed “a twist on pink,” combining many shades of red, from hot pink to burgundy. The Bride Abigail Doyle, 25 The Groom Jakub Jurek, 25 The Date June 25 Even Ivy Leaguers can miss the subtleties of a friend asking them out on a date. Abigail Doyle and Jakub Jurek became close as undergrads at Harvard University (both are now graduate students there). But when Jakub asked Abigail to a movie, “I misconstrued his intentions and assumed we were going as friends,” Abigail says, “so I invited one of my college roommates.” Jakub’s second attempt was much more successful, and the two soon started dating. When the couple planned a trip to Italy in 2004, Jakub knew the time was right for a proposal. “After 1,443 days of being together,” he says, “there wasn’t the slightest bit of doubt.” Jakub popped the question at sunset after they’d hiked to the top of Monte Solaro in Capri. And when the two got back to the States, they started planning their summer wedding at the home of Abigail’s parents in Philadelphia.
