Our Wedding

Katie and Brad first met via dating app in September 2020 -- right in the middle of the pandemic -- and, honestly, didn't hit it off. Despite a beautiful first date at Cafe Amalfi in the North End of Boston, Katie and Brad needed a few years of being neighbors and seeing each other around the neighborhood before they started dating in earnest. During Brad's "Boston bucket list" as he prepared to move away to New York City in April 2022, Brad took Katie to a Sinatra-themed night in Southie, and they fell in love HARD (Sinatra will do that to you). After a year and a half of dating between Boston and New York, Katie moved to NYC to join Brad. Brad proposed in Amalfi, Italy in October 2024. Katie and Brad got married in April 2025 in a small ceremony to ensure her grandparents were in attendance. The September 2026 event is a renewal of those vows and a celebration with all friends and family.

Wedding Party

Bring your best formal wear! Not quite black tie, no tux required.Additionally, the ceremony and portions of the evening will take place outdoors, so we recommend comfortable shoes suitable for garden paths and grass.In the event of rain, the ceremony will move to an indoor location at Snug Harbor. However, if there is a small drizzle, we will still be having the ceremony outside, goshdarnit. We will provide umbrellas.
