athleen and Will met in the spring of 2011 while at college in Boston. They became fast friends working part-time jobs at Vineyard Vines. But the friendship really blossomed when the store requested that Will dress up in a hot pink whale costume to promote the label during Boston’s Marathon Monday and Kathleen was tasked to help him navigate getting into the costume. Friendship quickly led to courtship. After eight years together, Will proposed while on a walk through the Boston Public Garden, where they had often spent time after dinner dates. When Reverend Franky Jean announced that the couple was officially wed, the pair exited San Pedro Catholic Chapel in Islamorada, Florida, to a trumpet rendition of Cat Stevens’ “Morning Has Broken.” A reception followed at Pierre’s of Islamorada (where the Netflix hit Bloodline was filmed). The colorful flowers throughout the ceremony and reception were in loving remembrance of the bride’s mother, Connie, as was Kathleen’s veil, worn by her mother on her own wedding day. The bride, daughter of Christopher Godbold and the late Connie Godlbold of Florida, graduated from East Ridge High School and Suffolk University. Kathleen is our very own partnerships manager for Moffly Media. The groom, son of George Dyke of Vermont and Elizabeth Fox of Greenwich, graduated from Brunswick School and Boston University. Will is an ocean freight trader for GENCO Shipping & Trading in Manhattan. The newlyweds live in Old Greenwich and are planning a getaway to Spain and Portugal this spring. G
