Our Wedding

It all started in 2018, where we met through mutual friends. The first typical lets go get drinks date, turned into a lifetime of happiness. Fast forward 6 months and we were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Though it took some time for Richie to ask out Amanda and make it "official", it was well worth it. Our relationship blossomed, incorporated with many different steps. From growing in our careers and having fun with our friends, we never let the hard work and busy life keep us separate. We got engaged in 2023 and after that, the wedding planning began.One of our first dates was Newport RI, we instantly fell in love with every aspect of the town. Newport has a special place in our hearts and we try to make it there as much as we can.We live in Middletown, CT and in March of 2024 we got the most important part of our life, as most of you know our puppy, Callie!What better way to take one of our favorite places to go and officially have our wedding there. We are excited to see everyone in Newport, Rhode Island on August 8th, 2025, for our big day!
