Alexandra Kennerly Wolfe, the daughter of Sheila Wolfe and Tom Wolfe of Manhattan, was married Feb. 23 to Dr. Andrew Newman Schiff, a son of Lisa Schiff and David T. Schiff of Manhattan.

Dr. Schiff, 52, is a managing partner at Aisling Capital, a company in New York that invests in life science companies. He was until 2000 an internal medicine physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
The groom’s father retired as a partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Company an investment banking firm in New York. He was later the chairman of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
The groom's first marriage ended in divorce.
The couple first met in fall 2014, through the groom’s sister and brother-in-law, but did not start dating until April 2016.
When the bride asked her father if he would wear his trademark white suit to her wedding, he replied: “No, you can wear white. It’s your day.”
