Dom and I started dating in 2017 while we were studying at Shenandoah University. It consisted of new attendance at dance shows for him, and basketball games for me, low-budget dates and falling in love. Little did we know it was the start of a journey that has led us all here today.

Dom and I discovered our love for traveling early on in our relationship. 9 months into dating we flew to LAX to embark on our first adventure. We explored LA, Malibu and even spent some time with Aunt Karen and Uncle Paul in Oceanside and San Diego.

With my parents, Pat and Joe, we bussed to the Big Apple in time to see all the Christmas decor around the city. Dom and I have been to NYC multiple times and it's always a favorite spot to visit.

Our next trip followed my graduation in 2019, when we decided we wanted to be Disney adults (weird) and explore Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Universal Studios.

We planned a trip to the Bahamas - our first international vacay - in 2020, but due to the pandemic those plans were quickly changed (and refunded - TG). In 2021, the world was still partly shut down, but we decided that we wanted to take advantage of all-time-low plane tickets. Our trip to Hawaii was a pivotal moment in our relationship; it is where Dom had planned the most romantic proposal on the beach in Ko Olina following a week of zip lining, ATVing and catamaraning around the island.

Over the years, we've taken many weekend/day trips to Ocean City, NJ - where I grew up visiting. In May 2022, we took a rainy trip to OCNJ for my dad, Joe's, 60th birthday.

After we started graduate school, we got a crazy idea to take an international vacation, which was followed through by our trip to Paris, France in August 2022. Besides frolicking through the magical streets of Paris, we ate lots of food, drank lots of wine and got to see all of the iconic sites.

After we touched down on American soil, we flew out the following day to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to celebrate Dom's mom, Rhonda's, retirement from the government.

In March 2023, we took a rollercoaster of a trip to Florence, Italy - if you know, you know. Our wedding planning trip did not go as planned, but like all things in life, everything worked out the way it was supposed to.

Just 10 days after touching down in Philly, we were off to our next adventure: Antigua, Guatemala to watch my lifelong bestie, Stefi, get married. We traveled with my parents, Pat and Joe and it was an amazing trip.

It's no secret that we enjoy traveling, trying new food and seeing new things. We hope that you will join us on our next adventure and make it your next adventure as you watch us tie the knot in Italy. We recognize it is a big ask and not plausible for everyone, but we have only invited the people that mean the most to us. We've been traveling domestically and internationally for 6 years and we've only just begun. We can't wait to see all the places we'll go!
