Our Wedding

Our story began on the West Coast of Northern Costa Rica at a small beach bar on December 2nd 2023. When Rob got to the bar there was one open seat which happened to be next to Dana. She was having lunch on her own while her friends were out on a boat for the day. Within moments we started a conversation about baseball and the NY Mets. We realized we were both longtime fans. We haven’t stopped talking since then. 10 months later we realized how strong a relationship we had built and decided to create a home together in NYC. Our relationship is built on a foundation of love and trust for one another. On January 8th 2025 we were in Negril when at sunset we got engaged! Now we are so happy to be able to share with all of you our wedding and celebration.

We haven chosen Borghese Vineyard on the North Fork of Long Island for our wedding ceremony and celebration. <a href="https://castellodiborghese.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://castellodiborghese.com/</a>
