Real Green Weddings
Katie Triolo and Jordan O’Brien were married on May 22, 2008 in Vernazza (Cinque Terre), Italy.
About the Couple
Jordan and Katie met in San Francisco after their first summer as college graduates. The couple admits that they met at “a rather cheesy post-college bar,” but that didn't make it any less important to their relationship. During a three month road trip around the United States five years later, they found their way back to that San Francisco bar, where Jordan proposed and Katie accepted.
The Decision to go Green
Both Jordan and Katie have always been environmentally conscious, so planning their wedding with eco-friendly elements was more of a foregone conclusion than a decision to be made. At the time, Jordan was working towards his MBA in Sustainable Enterprise & Real Estate Development to go into green building, so he was especially focused on sustainability and the nuances of greening.
