Our Wedding

We met for lunch at the Seasons52 in King of Prussia on February 4, 2023. Our second date was at Peddlers Village. We knew pretty quickly that we had a strong connection. The past 2 years have been a fun adventure getting to know each other. Lots of laughs and many great experiences. In the last two years, we have gone to Hawaii two times (to visit Lora’s family), to San Juan Island in Seattle (for Joe’s nephew’s wedding), Dallas, Texas, Washington, D.C. and Florida (West Palm Beach and Estero). Lora is a CPA and works as a CFO consultant. Her biggest pride and joy is being a mom to 3 boys, Carter, Evan and Caleb. She loves sports, especially football. Joe is a physician who specializes in Interventional and Diagnostic Radiology. He is the father to 3 lovely daughters, Brittany, Ashley, and Lindsay. He is also the grandfather to Emelia, (Brittany, and David) and Oliver (Lindsay and Patrick). He loves music, and really enjoys playing his guitar. We became engaged on August 25 of 2024! We are excited to be planning our wedding for June 21 of 2025 !
