Beth & Mike
October 15, 2023
Brewster
After meeting through mutual friends and hitting it off during their first date at The Carriage House in Patterson, native Hudson Valley residents Mike Zambelli and Beth Kershaw-Zambelli knew they were meant to be. After four years of dating, the two became best friends, with a bond much like their parents’ longstanding relationships. It only made sense, then, that they chose October 15 – Beth’s late parents’ wedding anniversary – to tie the knot at Tilly Foster Farm in Brewster.
While Beth was waiting for the golf cart to pick her up before her vows, she had a peaceful and powerful moment to reflect. “I was remembering my late parents David and Bonnie Kershaw and thanking them for such a beautiful day on their wedding anniversary,” she remembers. “I was also thankful that my now father-in-law Joseph Zambelli made it to our special day (he was sick, and we lost him before Christmas). Then, of course, I couldn’t wait to see my future hubby at the arbor.”
To further honor her parents, the bride donned a beautiful silk bouquet (handmade in the Hudson Valley) that displayed their portraits. “I chose the silk bouquet because I knew I wanted to display it in our home for a constant reminder of our wedding day,” Beth says. A beautiful tribute, indeed.
