On their first date in NYC, which included a photo taken by the restaurant to commemorate it and photos taken by the Pepsi sign looking out at Manhattan, they fell deeply in love. From that first week, where they would slowly share "maybe just one more drink" to keep the night going, they have continued to grow to be best friends and inseparable.

Then came 2024 — which quickly and quietly became quite the action-packed year! From taking international trips to picking up Sonny at Laguardia (a soon-to-be 200 lb Newfoundland going through his teenager phase) to moving to Westchester and embarking on a new life together out in the suburbs.

Then came the 21st night of September - a night so memorable that Earth, Wind & Fire decided to go back in time and write a song about it. From showing up to the boat with 6 bags of gear (including Champagne & glasses, our own speakers, multiple blankets, outfit changes, and handwritten, watercolored notes), Alexandra became the first person in the boat’s history to smoothly glide around in heels onboard. She was clearly surprised (at least the exact minute was a surprise..), and they spent the next 3 hours taking full advantage of their own personal photoshoot on the water.

Since then, we have spent a lot of time picturing what we wanted our big day to look like. We quickly decided we wanted a small, intimate wedding, with family only, that we would remember and cherish forever. We spent many late nights searching for the perfect venue for us, Lake Como — a natural continuation of our nautical theme — was the clear choice. We are so excited for October, and we can't wait to share our love with you in the most romantic place on earth!
