The wedding and married life of the couple

Maszal, who is a United Church of Christ minister, officiated the ceremony. There were only fifty close attendees. They opted for a quiet wedding and both agreed on it mutually. Rebecca revealed:

“We laugh at the same things and dislike the same things but still push each other to explore and expand beyond our comfort zones. There’s an incredible comfort that comes from having such an easy, natural partnership.”

The color mainly at the venue was dusty pink. Rebecca was in a unique Mira Zwillinger gown with floral pattern. They enjoyed the wedding with close family and friends. The meal was multi-course at the Inn’s Claiborne House.

They had a small honeymoon at Hotel Esencia near Tulum, Mexico. And a few weeks later, they held a cocktail party to celebrate with friends and colleagues, that included Luke Russert, Phil Mattingly and also Ryan Lizza. The wedding planner were the inn people of Little Washington. The wedding cake was a carrot cake from the same inn. The photographer for the occasion was Tom Williams and the rehearsal dinner was at Sfoglina Downtown. The two are happy together and Rebecca stated:

By necessity we’ve been very strict on separating the personal from the professional in our lives,”

Brendan added:

“it’s not too big of a challenge. When we’re home we don’t make work our lives.”

The two have not yet started a family and have no children together.
