Summer

Our Wedding

We first met while summering at a luxurious lake retreat in the Pocono Mountains (YMCA Camp Kresge). We became friends throughout the summer as counselors-in-training but went our separate ways once it came time to return to school. Fast forward four years, we were both freshmen at Temple University-GO OWLS! When a mutual friend reconnected us, we quickly became close friends. After a few short months, we began dating. Fast-forward a few years, we’ve built a happy life here in Philadelphia! Whether it’s Friday nights at McCrossen’s, Saturdays at Union games or Sunday mornings snuggling with our doggy Sully. We bond over exploring the city, meeting new people, and trying new experiences. We couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter in our lives and feel so blessed to be able to share this night with you!

This one time at summer camp…
