Our Wedding

All it took was one swipe right, good music, and laughter, that had me hooked from the start! As many know we met in the most unconventional way, online. It started out as messaging daily, which then turned into our first date, and our story starts at Charlie's Cove on Greenwood Lake. Our daily messaging soon turned into hours of texting and late night prank calls, on my end. Our first few months together consisted of laughter, meeting each others families, and Alex being my chauffeur. In these months we experienced the Jersey Shore together, and Niagara Falls.It took four months before I told Alex, we are going to get married so we might as well just elope now. Alex wasn't completely convinced. Flash forward three years of sharing dreams, experiences, and love and Alex finally saw what I did all those years ago, and he proposed.From Wayne to Ogdensburg, to Parsippany, and back to Ogdensburg, we choose each other each day, through it all.

Her Side

After meeting online and messaging for a while, we eventually decided to meet. Celina drove to my house in her old beat up Nissan Altima (RIP), and proceeded to go to Charlie's Cove in Greenwood Lake for our first date, which was a fantastic time. That lead to me meeting her family and going out on her boat, where I might, or might not have thrown a Budlight Seltzer, that might or might not have hit Celina in the side of the head. Throughout that July we started seeing each other more and more, and on July 17th, two days before her birthday I made it official. Shortly, there after Celina discussed eloping, and I thought she was crazy, now looking back, that would have saved us a lot of money.Eventually in 2021, we decided it was time to move out and get our own apartment in Parsippany to be closer to work. Our apartment was full of love and laughter. After over a year of living together, I decided Celina was right after all that time, and decided to buy a ring. I went to her father, brother, and her uncle to ask permission for her hand in marriage. Me and her now Maid of Honor, Juliane, devised a masterful plan, to surprise Celina with a proposal she never saw coming. Along with my genius idea of a surprise proposal, I also saw fit to turn a small gathering of the families into a full blown surprise engagement party within two weeks. With the help of both sides of the family, and no help from the weather, we had a successful engagement party.Now with another move under our belt, the wedding six months out, and a lifetime to go, I couldn't imagine going through this whirlwind of life with anybody else.
