Adriana Xhakli and Perry Petra-Wong met at the airport. Over seven years later, they decided that the recently renovated TWA terminal building was the only place they wanted to marry.
were instrumental when it came to the logistics. “We honestly couldn’t have done it without them,” Adriana says. “Everyone told us that we were pretty bold in choosing to hold our wedding at a brand-new venue with a completely new staff. I know we were among the first weddings held at the venue and definitely the first wedding to use all the different areas of the original building, so it was very challenging for everyone involved.
After she had the dress, it took a long time for her to find the perfect pair of flats to go with it. She bought three different pairs of shoes before settling on a pair by Goya. “I love how the shoe is both feminine and not,” she says. “The oversized velvet bow is pared down with a chunky rubber boot sole.” To accessorize the look, she just bought a bunch of small gold hoops from Mejuri that were simple and elegant.
The ceremony was secular, egalitarian—and also hilarious. Adriana had the genius idea of dressing up their chow mix dog, Rocco, in a coordinating outfit. “It was so ridiculous, but once I had that vision I knew I needed to find a way to make it happen,” she says. “I maniacally messaged a million different vendors and tailors photos of my dress, asking everyone if they could make a miniature version for me. Only one vendor was brave enough to accept the challenge.
Cocktail hour was in the Ambassador’s Club followed by a reception in the 1962 Ballroom, so that the entire wedding stayed within the original structure of the TWA terminal. During dinner, the maid of honor, best man, and groom’s father all gave toasts. When they were done, Adriana made a speech at the very end honoring her father, who fled to the United States for political asylum as a Muslim refugee.
