Our Wedding

On July 3rd, 2022, the night held more than fireworks; it was the start of their own spark. It all began at a Fourth of July party hosted by a mutual friend. Maria had just come from work, still in her scrubs, when she first met Zach. To her, he had such a friendly persona being the first person to greet her after seeing the host. To him, she was radiant - even after a long shift- and he couldn’t help but notice her smile and happy energy. By the end of the night, they exchanged Snapchats, not realizing how significant that small step would become. Maria’s habit of leaving messages through Snapchat unopened left Zach wondering if she was interested, so he reached out to their mutual friend for clarity. Of course after hearing this, Maria quickly reached out to Zach to say she was very interested in getting to know him. At the time, Maria was working full-time in New York and Zach was finishing his doctorate in physical therapy in Pennsylvania, but the distance didn’t scare them. Their first date in Maria’s hometown of Warwick, NY set the tone: a full day together at the Warwick Winery, dinner, and ice cream because neither of them wanted the night to end. From that moment forward, their love only grew. Weekends turned into road trips to see each other, and weeknights were filled with long FaceTime calls that made the miles between them feel smaller. What began with a spark on a summer night quickly became something real, steady, and beautiful—and now, they are so excited to share the next chapter of their story with all of you.
