How the couple met:
Donald Longueuil and Mackenzie Mudgett met at the Head Of The Charles Regatta in Boston. Mackenzie was there rowing in the Princeton alumni boat and Don, also a former rower, was there as a spectator while visiting friends.

That weekend sealed their relationship, even though Don was working in Connecticut and Mackenzie was in business school in Philadelphia at the time.

The wedding and reception:
Don and Mackenzie were married Jan. 25 at The Church of the Redeemer, officiated by The Very Rev. Fredrick Robinson (with The Rev. David Bumsted and The Rev. Charleston Wilson also participating). The couple’s faith and love were the cornerstones of the day. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at Sarasota Yacht Club. From the champagne cocktail to the Whispers, the 10-piece band, to the mini donuts served on the dance floor, the couple celebrated their blessed event with their closest family and friends.

Honeymoon:
The couple explored the Seychelles and Tanzania for their honeymoon.

“The entire trip was fabulous, but the safari portion in Tanzania was particularly amazing,” says Mackenzie. “Seeing the ‘big five’ up close and observing various animal behaviors was our favorite part of the trip. The absolute peace of the open plains juxtaposed with the excitement of witnessing a hunt made for a relaxing, but never dull, experience.”
