Published: May 13, 2011
Elizabeth Weinberg Smith and Richard Cotton were married Saturday at the bride’s home in New York. Judge Robert D. Sack, senior judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York, officiated.
The bride, 58, is the assistant commissioner for marketing and revenue at the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. She oversees the agency’s concession businesses, as well as its large-scale special events and marketing initiatives. She graduated from Scripps College in Claremont, Calif., where she is the vice chairwoman of its board of trustees.
She is a daughter of Elizabeth Houghton Weinberg of Marion, Mass., and the late Sidney James Weinberg Jr. The bride’s father was a senior director at Goldman Sachs, where he led its investment banking division from 1978 to 1988, and where the bride’s paternal grandfather, the late Sidney J. Weinberg, was its chief executive from 1939 to 1969.
The bride’s maternal grandfather, the late Amory Houghton, was the chairman of Corning Glass Works from 1941 to 1961, and the ambassador to France under President Eisenhower from 1957 to 1961. The bride’s great-great-grandfather, whose name was also Amory Houghton, founded Corning in 1851. The bride’s first husband is deceased; her second marriage ended in divorce.
The bridegroom, 66, is an executive vice president and the general counsel of NBC Universal in New York. From 1970 to 1971 he was a clerk for Associate Justice William Brennan Jr. on the Supreme Court, and later was a senior aide to Joseph A. Califano Jr. when the latter was the secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. He graduated from Harvard and received a law degree from Yale.
He is a son of the late Sylvia Cotton and the late Eugene Cotton, who lived in New York after retiring from their jobs in Chicago. His mother founded Illinois Action for Children, a nonprofit organization that provides medical and educational support to children and families. His father was the general counsel for the packinghouse unit of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters. The bridegroom’s previous marriage ended in divorce.
