Our Wedding

Brittany and Dominic’s love story began in 2015, when fate brought them together during Brittany’s first year at college. She had just started this exciting new chapter of her life, and was introduced to Dominic through mutual friends. It was love at first sight, some may say. They have been inseparable ever since. As the years unfolded, both Brittany and Dominic achieved many milestones side by side, always supporting one another along the way. When Brittany decided to move full-time to Philadelphia to be with Dominic, their journey as a couple entered an exciting new phase. They made their first home together in a tiny but charming apartment in Center City, where they created countless memories exploring the vibrancy of the city. Today, Brittany and Dominic have settled into their first home together, a cozy house nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in South Philadelphia. While life has brought changes, one thing has remained constant—their unwavering bond. They are more than partners; they are best friends who share life’s greatest joys together. They wouldn't have it any other way. In their free time, Brittany and Dominic can often be found enjoying the simple pleasures of life. They love trying new foods, experimenting with recipes in the kitchen, traveling to new destinations, taking long walks, and spending sunny days by the beach. Their adventures, whether close to home or far away, are a testament to the love and friendship that binds them. Brittany and Dominic are overjoyed as they approach the chapter of their lives where they will become husband and wife. The thought of celebrating their love with family and friends fills their hearts with excitement. They can’t wait to embark on their dream honeymoon in Hawaii. Beyond the celebration, they look forward to building a beautiful life together, dreaming of growing their big Italian family, filled with happy times, lots of laughs, and cherished traditions that will carry on for generations. Their story is one of growth, friendship, trust, and love—a journey shared by two hearts created for one another.
