Our Wedding

Alex and I met in early 2005, while working together at a gas station. I was in undergrad at Buffalo State College and he was seeking a career in construction. We were both so young, still maturing as individuals, never expecting we'd spend the rest of our lives together. Fun Fact: I asked Alex out on our first date! When I think back to that very moment, I had no hesitation in asking. Everything happens for a reason and our lifelong journey began that evening. We made it "official" on April 17, 2005. Like every other relationship on this planet, there are triumphs and challenges throughout the years. Alex and I joke that we "raised each other", but we truly grew up together. We've watched and supported one another in reaching our own personal goals as individuals and as a couple as well. In January 2020, Alex and I bought our first home in West Seneca NY. We couldn't have been more proud of ourselves during this time. We were lucky enough to have secured a home just 2 short months before the pandemic. While we had more time to work on home projects, the pandemic certainly taught us to slow down, enjoy the people we love, and to live life to the fullest. In September 2020, we FINALLY got engaged. We were in no rush to the altar, our relationship is secure no matter our marital status. I was so EXCITED and emotional as Alex got down on one knee. I couldn't believe it. I love and admire Alex so much more for always putting me first, ensuring I'm safe and happy, and for loving me through the good times and the bad. We welcomed our fur baby Lenox into the family in May 2021. Lenox is our EVERYTHING, and we treat him like royalty, as he deserves. Lenox has taught us many lessons, but most importantly we learned what unconditional love feels like. We are truly blessed to have Lenox in our lives and will spoil him for all eternity. Everything in our lives feels complete. With our 20th Anniversary approaching, we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate by getting married in LAS VEGAS BABY! We look forward to partying it up with all of our guests. We can't begin to express our level of gratitude to all invitees for considering attending our destination wedding. Our story will always evolve, but our past experiences together proved our love and commitment to one another. Cheers to many more years together as husband and wife.

Jesus (AKA Ari) is Alex's oldest brother and we can always count on him for a good laugh. Every time we get together, it feels like the good old days when our cares were so small. Fun Fact: Jesus actually accompanied us on our first date, back in 2005. Jesus means a lot to the both of us and we're honored to have a special role for him in our wedding.
