When she’s not designing for her popular brand, Lemonade Dolls, Lemon teaches spin classes. It was during one of these classes that her and Tom first met. Just like that, their love story began, and the rest quickly became history. Fast forward time, Tom proposed on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on May 5th 2024, creating a moment they would never forget. SETTING THE SCENE At the beginning of September 2024, Lemon was back in New York for Fashion Week when she and Tom decided over FaceTime that they were going to get married that year.

Their priority was incredible food, multiple drink stations, cocktails, Champagne and little treats throughout the night.
