Ms. Giske (left), 50, is a partner in Bolton-St. John’s, a lobbying firm in Albany. She graduated from George Washington University and received a master’s degree in public policy from the New School for Social Research. She is a daughter of Blanche E. Sklar of Manhattan and the late Martin Giske. Her father was the president of Hygrade Knitting Mills, a sweater distributor that was in Brooklyn. Ms. Washburn, 34, is the executive director of the Meatpacking District Initiative, a neighborhood business association in Manhattan. She graduated from Barnard. She is a daughter of Constance J. Washburn and Thomas E. Washburn, both of Miami. Ms. Washburn’s father is an owner of Wilson Washburn Forster Insurance, a property and casualty insurance agency in Miami. Her mother, who is retired, was a fourth-grade teacher at Howard Drive Elementary School in Miami, and is now the president of Friends of the Everglades, an environmental advocacy organization in South Miami, Fla. The couple met in June 2006 at the gay pride parade in Manhattan. Both attended as members of the retinue of that year’s grand marshals, Christine C. Quinn, the New York City Council speaker, and Florent Morellet, the restaurateur.
