Our Wedding

Star Crossed 

Kristen and John were best friends shortly after meeting. With a mutual love for music, horror movies, driving adventures, concerts, and Halloween the two decided to pursue a more serious commitment, and they fell in love. Now 6 years, 3 cats, and one cute baby later John and Kristen are inseparable.

The Stars Aligned 

In 2020 Kristen rediscovered her spirituality and started connecting the dots with Astrology. She had a chart reading to see the synastry between John and her. Overall their planets and houses balance each other well, which is the key secret to a successful partnership. John’s moon is directly on Kristen’s ascendant, thus John felt kinship from the energy and first impression Kristen gave and continues to put out in the world. Also in the sign of Gemini “the twins” thus giving twin flame vibes. Their love child Robby is also born with a Gemini Sun thus making their bonds even deeper. Kristen’s south node is also there insinuating she’s had past lives experiences with both John and Robby. Kristen’s Chiron is direct on John’s Venus. Chiron the “wounded healer” of the zodiac and Venus is what we love. There is a deep healing connection to this dynamic. John loves and encourages Kristen through her hardiest moments and then celebrates her grown with her. It’s also in his first house meaning his first impression will always be to comfort Kristen.

Our Story

After many a musical and KD group trips together Abbie and Kristen formed a tight bond in school. With a mutual love of astrology and both Pisces moons, you will find the pair off in the corner trying to figure out everyone’s big three(sun, moon, and rising). Although many things in life have changed their tight group of friends has remained.

Abbie 

Connor has been Kristen’s longest and best friend since the first day of first grade as their seats were beside each other. Through 4th grade field day as partners, to Kristen “following” Connor to middle school, playing Bonnie and Moonie in “Anything Goes” the musical, to senior year as dance captains and partners in charge of the top mixed show choir “Illusion”, to their monthly Starbucks meets that continue to this day. Connor and Kristen are truly siblings in spirit.

In 7th grade Bryan and Kristen met playing fiancés in the musical “45 Minutes From Broadway” although the two never really hung out or even spoke until sophomore year when they both were in “Grease” the musical. Bryan formed a KD trip via Facebook events and the rest is history. From directing Bryan’s one act together, to listening to “Like a G6” on repeat getting lost on the way back from KD, and witnessing Kristen get crowned the first ever Miss Pinup Rva, to always finding the two sharing the local hottest gossip. This Gemini Sun and Gemini Rising have remained the best of friends.

Being brought in as Bryan’s bf in their 20s Kristen and Justin became close friends fast. With their mutual love of Halloween, Fleetwood Mac, witchy things, and torties the pair formed a tight bond. You would never know the two met later than everyone else because they could definitely come off the closest.

After the many KD trips and musicals together Susan and Kristen fell in love. From working at Giovanni’s together, to plane rides to see each other to or from Floria, and everything in between including but not limited to breaking down on the way back from Hilton Head at 19. These two have been through it all and then some. Somehow Susan still loves Kristen after how much she picked on her in high school and still feels bad for, even though it was from love. Their love is the purest and strongest sister bond you can imagine.

Jake and Kristen met in middle school at youth group of all places! The pair shared their love of music and all things silly. Just after Kristen graduated high school she brought Jake in to meet “the group” because she knew it was the friends Jake was looking for. Sure enough Jake found his people with tight bonds with each of them and even turning into living with Susan a brief period in DC which is now Jake’s forever home. Jake and Kristen are definitely brother and sister and always there for the other one.

Q + A

From I-95, take exit 86B (Elmont). At the second traffic light, turn right onto Route 1 North (Washington Highway). The winery entrance is less than one mile on the right, immediately after the driving range. One of John and Kristen’s favorite spots. Their wine go to is always the sweet flight or a glass of the Snowy White. They would LOVE a wine membership here. Dress is semi formal and theme is stary night. Guests will park out front of the winery in the parking lot and walk around back to the pavilion. The front main tasting room will be open to the public but the reception will be in the back for our reserved party. Can’t wait to celebrate with you there.
