Our Wedding

We met at the University of Connecticut during our Freshman year orientation, back in 2006. We were both extremely excited to be going to UConn and remained in touch over the summer prior to heading into the school year. It was a sigh of relief to learn we would be living in the same dorm on campus - the infamous Buckley Hall! But they say everything happens for a reason, and it was here we quickly formed a close friendship that eventually lead to the relationship we have today!During our first two years of college, we continued to have classes together, had similar groups of friends, and would always see one another on the weekends. We continued to remain in touch when Kristin studied abroad in Florence and it was during the start of our Junior year of college that our relationship truly began. We began officially dating on November 21st, 2008. Shortly after, we celebrated our 21st birthdays together, met each other's parents for the first time and showed one another where we grew up! During our nights at nickel night, our days spent in Homer, the exciting times spent at Gampel, and everything in between, we quickly realized how much we truly cared for each other and were falling in love.Our relationship continued to grow in the years we had at UConn together. But it was once we graduated and Greg decided to take a job at Sentinel Benefits, outside of Boston to be closer to Kristin that our relationship really matured. We both rented apartments close by in the city and continued to make so many memories in Boston. We made the next big step in our relationship to move in together in South Boston in the Fall of 2013. Living with one another has not only emphasized our love but how we truly could not live without one another. The best part of our days are coming home to see one another!On September 5, 2015, we went to enjoy the beautiful sunset at the Inn at Castle Hill in Newport. It was there that Greg pulled me aside, caught me by surprise, got down on one knee, and asked me ever so sweetly to marry him and I obviously said "yes"! We could not be happier and are so excited for all that the future holds for us.We could not imagine getting married anywhere but Newport and we are so excited to share our love for this charming island with our family and friends!

By Air

This is where we stayed when we got engaged so this is extremely special to us. I can't say enough amazing things about this Inn! It is absolutely adorable! The Innkeeper, Liz, is very nice and accommodating. They make an amazing breakfast the following morning. The Inn is located in the heart of downtown Newport (and conveniently right across the street from the Hotel Viking!). If you are able to stay the weekend you will be able to walk to dinner and the bars very easily on Saturday, which is a huge plus!

Hilltop Inn

There are dozens of great inns all around Newport. This website offers contact information and descriptions of many bed &amp; breakfasts.Our recommendation is to stay at an Inn/Hotel within walking distance to the Viking. The Inns on Bellevue are conveniently located directly across the street from the Viking Hotel.Here is the link to inns on Bellevue: http://innsonbellevue.com/

Bed & Breakfasts

This is another affordable option right down the road from the Viking.

The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina

This is another reasonable option that is extremely centrally located, being a short walk from the Viking, St. Marys, and downtown Newport. They have afternoon tea and wine tasting. A spot that our family has stayed at and enjoyed before!

Adele Turner Inn

Renting a cottage on the island provides a truly unique experiences for groups and would be an economical option in off-season Newport. There should be a whole bunch of options coming out of the crazy Summer months!

Air B&B or Homeaway

Travel

One of Greg and I's favorite things to do when in Newport is to take an audio set tour of the historical mansions! They are gorgeous and have so much history. Some of our favorites are the Marble house and Elms.

Newport Mansion Tour

Another favorite of ours is the cliff walk. The is a famous public acccess path that combines the beauty of Newport's shoreline with the architectural history! If you are interested in getting outside and getting some exercise would highly recommend bundling up and taking a brisk walk or jog around the cliff walk.

The Cliff Walk

There are so many great restaurants that are open year round in Newport. Greg and I's absolute favorite is the Clarke Cooke House. This is where Greg took me the night we got engaged, it is also extremely cozy in the fall and winter months. Other favorites are Midtown, Malt, The Black Pearl for chowder, Scales for fresh seafood year round, or Diego's for brunch! Please see the website below for top 10 restaurants in Newport for additional ideas!

Restaurants

If you are staying an extended period of time or feel your schedule permits you to hit the links; Newport National is a fantastic place to golf and is open to the public, its one of Greg's favorites!

Newport National Golf Club

Here you will find.. Where to stay, where to eat, where to drink, things to do, attractions, beaches... everything Newport has to offer! Newport is incredibly charming all year round and we hope you have time to take advantage of all is has to offer, even in the crisper fall season!
