Julia Catherine Schweizer and Lockhart Steele were married Oct. 6. The Rev. Richard W. Belshaw, an Episcopal priest, performed the ceremony at St. James Church, Prouts Neck, in Scarborough, Me.
Mrs. Steele, 30, is the senior strategist for brand, events and relationships at SYPartners, a consulting company in New York that helps business leaders develop diversity, inclusion and other programs. She graduated from the New School.
She is the daughter of Dr. Cathryn M. Clary and Dr. Edward E. Schweizer of Princeton, N.J.
Mr. Steele, 44, was the founder of Curbed Network, a collection of digital media properties, including Curbed.com, Eater.com and Racked.com, that was acquired in 2013 by Vox Media, and for which he was the editorial director until 2017. He graduated magna cum laude from Brown.
He is a son of Carol K. Steele of Beverly, Mass., and the late Kilman Steele.
The couple met in 2010, when she had an informational interview with him for a marketing position. She didn’t get the job, but they did occasionally run into each other at social and professional events. In 2016, having heard that he was single again, she sought him out at Brown’s annual campus dance, and during the 20th reunion of his class. “I went there sort of on a mission,” she said, “and we ended up making out on a porch.”
The groom’s previous marriage ended in divorce.
