Kim Catullo & Christine Quinn
There was a time when Kim Catullo flat-out refused to be introduced to Christine Quinn. A friend of Catullo’s thought of setting her up with the politician, Quinn, who was running for mayor back in 2013. Because Catullo felt their personalities would not mesh well, she had hesitation about the meeting. However, after a bit of encouragement, she gave in. Catullo and Quinn eventually got married. In attendance at their wedding were headline names such as Chuck Schumer, Michael Bloomberg and Andrew Cuomo.
