Kristi Kszepka
Kristi Kszepka is a bride from New Egypt, New Jersey that everyone in town fondly refers to as Kricket. Her wedding is based around a favorite wine of hers…a pink merlot. David Tutera meets his bride three weeks before the big day, and he finds that Kricket has collected all sorts of unique items to display on her wedding day that don’t really tie into her theme and most of it is fake – the flowers, the leaves and even the grapes… the four letter word David hates the most – “F-A-K-E!” First up, changing out her bridesmaids’ unflattering pink-themed dresses for a more elegant, form fitting design. Kricket is brought to tears with a surprise from David Tutera – her mother shows up to share in the experience of getting a brand new breath-taking gown. And the good fortune doesn’t end there. David arranges a delicious treat for the two, a lesson in pairing wine and chocolate followed by a complete makeover. And finally the moment Kricket has been waiting for, David has transformed her reception hall at the Radisson Hotel into the vineyards of Italy. It’s truly an Italian masterpiece.
