Her mother retired as a special-education teacher at the Bedford Road School, a public elementary in Pleasantville.
Mr. Forrest, 31, is a vice president in the strategic advisory group at PJT Partners, an investment bank in New York. He graduated from the University of Michigan.
He is a son of Susan Cohen Forrest and Richard J. Forrest of Manhattan.
