Samantha Jill Storch and Benjamin Matthew Malloy are to be married Oct. 7. Andrew J. McDonald, an associate justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court who is also a Universal Life minister, is to officiate at Gurney’s, a resort in Montauk, N.Y.
Ms. Storch, 29, will be taking her husband’s name. She is the executive director for strategic partnerships and brand development at Makers, a New York company that helps other companies with pay-parity and gender-equity programs. She graduated from N.Y.U.
She is a daughter of Michael I. Storch of Milford, Conn., and the late Barbara I. Storch. The bride’s father is the president and chief executive of Enernoc, a Boston company that provides software and management advisory services designed to control energy costs.
Mr. Malloy, 30, is a manager at Burson Cohn & Wolfe, a public relations agency in New York, and is responsible for business development and corporate communications. He graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
He is a son of Catherine L. Malloy and Dannel P. Malloy of Hartford. The groom’s mother is the chief executive of the Greater Hartford Arts Council. His father, a Democrat, is the governor of Connecticut.
The couple met at Cloonan Middle School in Stamford, Conn., when Ms. Storch was in the sixth grade and Mr. Malloy was in seventh. “I loved him, but I don’t know that he loved me back,” she said.
In high school, he went with her to her boarding school’s junior prom, and when they were in college, in 2009, their relationship began “as adults,” she said.
