Our Wedding

Todd and Amy first met in 2016. Their first date was May 2nd. They shared life stories over tapas in Manhattan. A second date was agreed upon but a warning was given by Todd-“My job is crazy, so you might not see me for a while”. Amy thought that she was being shrugged off. She soon learned that Todd works more than most people, especially in the summer. However busy, Todd and Amy made time to see each other. They spent a lot of time together at the Village Club of Sands Point. Todd taught Amy how to play golf. They spent many evenings at sushi happy hour. Their first summer culminated with a trip to Cabo San Lucas. One night, Todd asked Amy “would you like to grow old with me?” Amy said yes, and Todd agreed. Two years later they got engaged at a lighthouse in Kingston, New York. Now they look forward to celebrating their wedding, hosted where their love story began- The Village Club of Sands Point!

Amy & Todd’s Love Story

Our Story

April 2006. Amy G and I were dorm-mates bunkered together with 40 other degenerates in Davidson B on Rutgers Busch Campus and it wasn't until a clubbing experience that transformed our friendship into a sisterhood. Amy said she knew a club in NYC that allowed 18 year olds to enter and asked my roommate and I if we wanted to go. My naive self thought, "Sure, I've never been clubbing, sounds like fun, what's the worst that can happen?"--- needless to say, after that night I learned that every scenario was within the realm of possibilities when I am with Amy G. Anyways, as our night begins, Amy begins to part some advice.Amy: "Cansu, when we're in the club, always make sure your back is against something."Cansu: "Why?"Amy: "Because you don't want men to come up and surprise you from behind."I had never held a boys hand at the point, let alone imagined them "coming from behind". Panic ensues. Amy is as cool as a cucumber. Amy: "Also, don't drink anything that has a broken seal."More panic. Now, I know all of this sounds like advice that every teenager knew, but I lived in a protective bubble and came out of that bubble like Golum coming out of caves in LOTR. Once we got inside, I felt like I was in a club that you see in the movies. Floors of people dancing, music so loud you can barely hear yourself think, sweat everywhere, laser lights flashing in all directions, dancers on platform- the works. I felt like a baby penguin had just entered the jungle. Amy felt my nervousness and did what she could to make sure I felt safe and had fun. She literally had my back the whole night, yet was able to still dance the night away. Eventually our feet got tired and we decided to leave. When we got to  Penn Station we realized we missed the last train so we needed to find a place to make the hours pass by till the next train. On our adventure we saw the Golden Arches (a secret wish anyone makes to see after any night of dancing or drinking) and knew McDonald's was our calling; in our mutual love for McDonald's, I knew in that moment this girl had my heart. So we went inside, ordered McDonald's, napped, and waited for the train. Normally, I 100% would have panicked feeling stranded in NYC in the dead of night but with Amy by my side, it didn't matter because we were in it together. The rest is history.

Hi Everyone I am Tara Tsilios. Amy and I met in 2008 while living in Campbell Hall at Rutgers. We quickly became good friends and 12 years later I can say Amy is more than one of my best friends she is my sister. She is an incredibly caring, selfless and loving person. Amy and I have been through so much together. We have shared so many laughs during the good times and have shed tears together during the hard times. I am incedibly happy that she has found the perfect person to spend the rest of her life with! Todd and Amy are one of my favorite couples and I am so excited to be part of their big day!

I'm Christina Heath and I live in Buffalo, NY with my husband Jonathan and daughter Natalie. Amy and I are cousins and have been lucky enough to also be lifelong best friends! It is such an honor for me to be her Matron Of Honor. I can vividly remember playing barbies as little girls on the living room floor of our Gran's house promising we'd be each other's MOH. She even knew back then that she would choose purple bridesmaids dresses! I'm so happy she and Todd found each other and can't wait to celebrate their love!

Hello everyone!  My name is Jennifer Giunta and I'm Amy's sister-in-law.  Although sister-in-law is a title made nearly 13 years ago, Amy has been my "sister" for nearly 26 years-yes, she was 6 years old when I met her :)   I'm so proud of the woman she has become and so excited to be a part of Amy and Todd's special day :)

My name is Sharon Goldsmith and I am Todd's older sister. I am always proud of my brother's achievements, but we can all honestly say convincing Amy to marry him is his greatest achievement to date.  I am thrilled to be part of Todd and Amy's wedding day and even more excited to be Amy's sister-in law.

My name is Devon and I am the lucky girl who got to marry Mike Giunta....and become Amy's sister-in-law! Over the years, Amy has become more than just a SIL to me, and I have learned that she is the most selfless, generous and easy-going person I know. I am so honored to stand by her side on her wedding day!
