Mr. Kay, 32, is a fourth-grade teacher at North Star Academy’s Alexander Street Elementary School, a charter school in Newark. He graduated from Curry College in Milton, Mass., and received a teaching certificate from the Relay Graduate School of Education in Newark.
He is a son of Kathleen Flynn Kay and William M. Kay of Montclair, N.J. The groom’s mother retired as a guidance counselor at West Orange High School in West Orange, N.J. His father retired as a support engineer in the Paramus, N.J., office of Hewlett-Packard, the electronics company.
The couple met in 2014 at a backyard party of a mutual friend, and six months later, after the same friend invited both of them to her birthday party, hit it off. “I had had a crush on him,” the bride said. “I knew he was coming beforehand, and was really excited to see him again.”
