ometimes mixing business with pleasure can be a good thing. Victoria and William met while working at IBM in New York City. The two were placed on a project together for a few weeks, but when the project wrapped, they switched gears and began dating. Four years later they got engaged over Fourth of July weekend in Sun Valley, Idaho. As they reached the summit of their hike, William proposed. Jeffrey Frenster, the bride’s father cousin, officiated at the ceremony at the Ojai Valley Inn in California where the reception followed. A highlight of the evening for the couple was standing on the stage with the band at the end of the night and looking out at all of the friends and family who had gathered to celebrate their union. The bride, daughter of Richard and Dawn Papalian of Greenwich, graduated from Windward School, Barnard College and Columbia University. Victoria is currently studying at Harvard Business School. The groom, son of Ian Ross and Catherine Pitfield of Pasadena, graduated from St. Francis High School, Tufts University and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. William is the CEO of Federato in Boston. The newlyweds honeymooned in Anguilla before returning home to Boston. »
