Two New York City couples, Victoria Perry and James Kostadaras, and Alexandra Cruz and Liam Allen, are set to get married on the same day the New York Knicks might win their first championship since before they were born.

A Dream Come True

Perry, a lifelong Knicks fan, and her fiancé, Kostadaras, are ecstatic about the coincidence. They met three years ago while watching the NBA Finals and have been fans of the team ever since. Perry’s father, who passed away when she was two years old, was also a huge Knicks fan, and she feels like he’s watching over her on this special day.

The couple has arranged for their 250 guests to watch the second half of the game together, with a projector and a DJ playing at the reception. They’ve also incorporated Knicks-themed decorations, including custom Wilson basketballs with their names and anniversary on one side and ‘Knicks Finals 2026’ on the other.

Embracing the Overlap

Cruz and Allen, who are also getting married on the same day, didn’t realize the potential overlap until the rehearsal dinner before a friend’s wedding last Friday night. They decided to lean into it and make the game a part of their party, arranging for a projector at the venue to show the game and deputizing one of the groomsmen to oversee the technology.

Both couples are excited about the possibility of the Knicks winning the championship on their wedding day, and they’re making the most of the coincidence. As Perry says, ‘It’s like a dream come true.’ The overlap of their weddings with the potential Knicks’ clinch is a unique and memorable experience that they’ll cherish for a lifetime.
