InStride Edition equine law columnist, Katherine Jarve, an AQHA and NSBA competitor from New Jersey, was married to Joseph Opalka, in a beautiful ceremony at St. Cyril of Jerusalem Church in Jamison, Pennsylvania, on Aug. 14. 

A lavish reception followed at River House at Odette’s in New Hope, where Katherine’s father, Mati, who wrote the column for many years before she took over, moved the guests to tears with his heartfelt wishes for his daughter and her groom.
