Our Story...

Luke and Leah met at Sign of the Whale in Stamford, CT on January 7th, 2022. After the first date Leah had told Luke that he was officially her new best friend. A second date followed just 4 days later. Luke invited Leah over for dinner at his place on a horse farm in Bedford, N.Y. (on the same farm they have a cottage on today). He made catfish, Grandma's mac and cheese with brussels sprouts. She met Lucy and Rory, Luke's sweet dogs. From then on, Leah became a part of Luke's world. About a month later (and a lot of push from Luke), Luke met Leah's parents the night of her birthday dinner. He was SO nervous. Luckily, the evening went great!

That following April, Luke and Leah flew down to Waxhaw, NC for a wedding, where she met Luke's parents, as well as Luke's wonderful sister Grace, her husband Caleb and their son Beau. Their visit was full of laughter and conversation. Leah felt like she fit right in. She even got to help out at Grace Kelly's, the family prom and pageant store.

Before they knew it, it was Easter and time for Luke to meet the rest of Leah's family. The Romanos were hosting and Luke couldn't help but feel like he was finally a part of something other than Glen Arbor in New England.

The following Christmas, Leah flew down to Waxhaw and got to meet Luke's brother Mark. The visit was full of Christmas cheer. Family dinners, conversation over breakfast and venturing out into their cute and quaint town seemed to guzzle up their time.

Nevertheless, Luke and Leah have seen hardships, Leah losing her beloved grandfather in October and exciting times, meeting Grace and Caleb's beautiful newborn daughter, Georgia Grace, for the first time in July. That same trip Luke's family came to visit, Luke proposed to Leah on Sprite Island in front of family and friends. There was a windy storm that came over the island but left them with a beautiful backdrop, a rainbow.

Now, the countdown begins to the big day! Luke and Leah have been so thankful for all the love and support from their families and friends.
