Our Wedding

We wish we could say it all started with one swipe, but that wasn’t the case. Between fall 2019 and summer 2021, we matched several times on different dating apps. Jackie was notorious for deleting and redownloading the apps, leaving poor Mike hanging. Finally, in August 2021, we matched for the last time. Mike said, “I think we’ve talked before,” and Jackie replied, “Maybe you’ll ask me on a date this time.” The rest is history.Our first date was at Kotobuki in Babylon Village—a dinner date that lasted over 6 hours. From that night on, we were inseparable. Mike would drive into NYC nearly every weekend to see Jackie (and, of course, Jackie's cat Mia, who also fell for him instantly). A year later, we moved into our first apartment together. We planned to wait a few months before adopting a dog, but only lasted two days before bringing home our rescue pup, Koda (which stands for K9 of a Deaf Adult and named after Kotobuki).Fast forward to now: we’ve been in love for over four years, shared incredible adventures to Aruba, Punta Cana, and Italy, and even bought our first home in summer 2025. We can’t wait to see what the future holds—and to celebrate our love with all of you on July 25, 2026!

HOW DO I RESPOND TO THE WEDDING?

Please visit the RSVP tab and enter your full name. Everyone included in your party will appear, and you’ll be able to respond for each person. If a guest was included for you but their name was not listed, the guest response will appear first. If they are attending, click “Edit” to add their name. If they will not be attending, simply select “Not Attending” to decline the guest. You can then continue responding for yourself and the rest of your party.

Can I bring a plus-one?

We’re so excited to celebrate with you! If your invitation includes a plus-one, you are more than welcome to bring them. Please make sure to RSVP for both guests so we can plan accordingly.

Are children allowed?

We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only, 21+ celebration.

Is there a dress-code? 

Our wedding attire will be semi-formal! Think suits and ties for the gentlemen and fun cocktail dresses for the ladies.

WILL THE WEDDING TAKE PLACE OUTDOORS? 

Weather permitting, the ceremony will be outdoors. The cocktail hour will be a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, and the reception will be held indoors.

Is there an after party?

There’s no formal after party planned, but we’d love for everyone to keep the celebration going with us after the reception at the bar at Desmond’s, inside the East Wind Hotel.
