Cathedral bells from many decades ago still sound in their hearts. 🕊️

ABEL & IRENE REUTHER 💍 Young scion to a prominent international bank, Abel Reuther, tied the knot with Irene Catherine Reuther (Née Tallien) on a June day in St. Patrick's Cathedral. The wedding reflected the prominent fashion trends of the time, particularly in Irene's ceremony and reception dress. Afterwards, the two honeymooned in St. Tropez. The two grew up in the same New York City social circles, but Abel took new interest in Irene after her four year absence attending boarding school in Switzerland. Abel began to court Irene and eventually escorted her at her debutante ball. The two were engaged shortly after, but planned the wedding a few years later, when both of them were twenty-seven years old. This was in respect to Irene's desire to receive a master's degree in music. The unfortunate early passing of Abel's father further delayed the wedding date, as Abel found himself far too busy with unexpectedly taking the reins of an international bank. Despite delays, the two were elated with the elaborate wedding. They continue to reminisce frequently, nearly forty years after.

The Reuther Family - Present 🪙

Jakob Reuther came to New York City from Vienna, Austria during the Gilded Age, more than a hundred years ago... His story was a classic American fairytale of hard work, sure, but mostly luck to lay the foundations of the banking empire the Reuthers are known for today. Read more under the cut.

The four children of Irene and Abel are bright young adults now, and view the family differently than past generations. Ondine and Roxanne have rejected filial expectations for their own artistic ambitions, while Simon continuously tries to prove his own independence from the family. Leonard Reuther, the eldest son, who in most ways has filled his role as heir, has a hidden past he keeps close to his heart. Nonetheless, the family is loving. Leonard's family lives in a connected townhouse in the Reuther Residence in Lenox Hill, while his siblings have remained close and visit whenever possible. Large parties with the New York elite are common here, as Irene enjoys the attention and socialization, especially with young folk. For Irene and Abel, evenings not spent at a family dinner are usually at Carnegie Hall, where Irene enjoys the premier pianists of New York City. She occasionally plays to honour her career before retirement; an afamed pianist and composer. Since Leonard has taken over the bank, Abel and Irene take part in leisure in and around New York, but hardly go abroad because of their age. Abel has grown to like golfing despite his previous distaste for it, and now enjoys playing in competitions.
