Our Wedding

Our story began freshman year of college, when we happened to live in the same dorm. At first, our connection came through a shared friendship — John became close friends with Emma's roommate—and soon enough, we found ourselves spending more and more time together. What started as studying side by side gradually turned into something more, and before we knew it, our friendship had grown into a relationship. After college, life took us to different cities. Emma moved to Philadelphia for medical school, while John began working in New York. For four years, we navigated long distance, supporting one another through demanding programs, celebrating milestones from afar, and strengthening our relationship despite the miles between us. Eventually, the distance closed, and we were finally reunited in the same city. Since then, we have been building a life together, supporting each other through the remainder of residency and dental school, growing both personally and professionally, and creating a home filled with love. Along the way, we added two cats to our family, who now keep our days lively and our home full. From college study sessions to the life we share today, our journey has always been rooted in partnership, resilience, and unwavering support. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter together, surrounded by the people we love most.
