When was Ginger Zee’s wedding?
Ginger tied the knot with Ben on June 7, 2014, in the bride’s native Michigan. “I have been crying for six months. I’m not joking. Since I knew I was marrying Ginger, I’ve been writing the vows in my head,” Ben said in an interview at the time. “So every time I thought about it I started crying. We’d be walking and I’d have to turn my head and blame it on allergies I don’t even have.” Ginger added, “I cried, too. I knew it was going to be beautiful, but to see it… [our wedding planner] poured his heart and soul into this. I thought I was done crying after the private vows but then walking down the aisle I saw my aunt and her face and it was like the vomit scene in The Goonies. It was totally contagious.”
“Everywhere you look, you see people who were a part of our journey as individuals coming together,” Ben continued. “It’s like a glamorous backyard barbecue with everyone you know.” Most importantly, Ginger revealed the weather on their big day “could not have been more perfect!” She added, “Mid 70s and high clouds, I couldn’t have written it better.” Ben then joked, “She has a direct line to Zeus himself. She called him up and said ‘Hey Z’ — she calls him that, it’s a thing they have in common — and she said, ‘I want beautiful weather this weekend,’ and it was.”
“[But] everyone has a story. We had the perfect weekend and the perfect day but you have to have something. For us, we thought we’d invite 55 people and around a million and thirty flies. Mayflies in June… I wonder if the longer winter had something to do with that,” Ginger shared. In another interview, Ginger gushed about her stunning wedding gown. “It’s very traditional but with some modern twists to it. I got it at Kleinfeld in New York. It was one of the first five I tried on,” she said.
