[Introducing Guest of a Guest's "The Wedding Party"]

Jennifer Goldsack and Daniel Beery: (Pictured above): This couple (whom I've had the pleasure of meeting), both had their eyes set on gold medals on this summer's respective Olympic Rowing teams.  After years of flirting via emails and athlete run-ins, the two found a much bigger prize in each other. Married on January 17th at St. Paul the Apostle in NYC they partied on at the NYAC with over 140 of their athletic friends.  Jason Read, our Beijing contributor here on GofG this summer was quoted in the Times article.  Among other things he said of the Beery's: "They know the hard work it takes to be on a team."
