To say Kate and John go way back would be an understatement.

The two childhood friends met at St. Timothy’s Middle School in West Hartford, began dating during their senior year at Northwest Catholic High School, and they maintained a long distance relationship throughout college and into the start of their post-college careers. It was worth the wait for these love birds as they finally tied the knot in August!

The bride is the daughter of Catherine Gobes and Alfred Masciocchi of West Hartford. Kate received her Bachelor of Architecture from Syracuse University and is currently an architectural designer at GWWO Inc. Architects, in Baltimore, MD.

The groom is the son of Rhonda and George Scurlock of West Hartford. John received his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Bentley University and is currently employed as Finance Manager for Aetna Inc., working out of their Baltimore office.

The late summer wedding took place at the Church of St. Timothy with a reception following at the Society Room in Hartford. As a surprise, Kate’s dad arranged a personal shout out from Grammy Award winner Loudon Wainwright, the artist of their father/daughter dance song, “Daughter.”

The couple enjoyed a honeymoon traveling throughout Europe and now they reside in Baltimore.
