Katelyn Autumn Yannie and Alex Robert Lichorat were married April 15. Laura E. Beachy, a friend of the couple who became a Universal Life minister for the occasion, officiated at Merriman’s, a restaurant in Kapalua, Hawaii, on the island of Maui.
Mrs. Lichorat, 28, is a regional media relations manager in Manhattan for Macy’s. She graduated from Syracuse University.
She is the daughter of Elizabeth A. Yannie and L. James Yannie II of West Grove, Pa. The bride’s father is the owner of Outside Unlimited, a commercial landscaping business in West Grove. Her mother retired as a test analyst in King of Prussia, Pa., for SunGard, a software and services provider.
Mr. Lichorat, 31, is a biology teacher at Advanced Math and Science, a New Visions Charter High School in the Bronx. He graduated from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and received a master’s degree in secondary science education from Syracuse.
He is the son of Catherine L. Lichorat and Robert M. Lichorat of Westfield, N.Y. The groom’s mother retired as a mathematics teacher at Dunkirk Middle School in Dunkirk, N.Y. His father retired as a wildlife technician in the Falconer, N.Y., office of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The couple met in 2009 while both were working at Syracuse’s Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion. She gave skating lessons to children, and he was a rink supervisor, teaching children how to play hockey, driving the Zamboni and performing various other roles at the rink. The two stayed in touch after leaving those jobs, and, in 2013, they began dating.
