Our Wedding

Dean lived in Charlotte, NC at the Element Apartments. Lauren Keegan and I had gotten jobs in Charlotte for a solar company. She and I searched for apartments online and ultimately decided on the Element Apartments. On the day I was there to sign my lease fate stepped in I guess you could say.&nbsp;Dean had come down to the front desk to pick up a package.. I was of course in the leasing office (all glass). He said he saw me and needed to know who I was. With a some what brief intro he proceeded to ask for my number so that he could help me move in and also take me to dinner. He was persistent because he didn't get a yes on the first try.. we literally just met as you know. With a seemingly long elevator ride up to my floor he asked again, stating that we would of course be seeing each other anyway living in the same building and who doesn't like a free meal. lol. Good point! Within 20min my phone dinged. yep it was Dean, asking what I was doing. I responded, "about to head to target". He immediately said that he would go with&nbsp;me. However, I was no where near ready for that haha. I told him that I needed all the space I could get in my car and that he'd have to drive separate . (I didn't want to get in a strangers car truthfully&nbsp;lol)&nbsp;Target was funny,&nbsp;shopping for home goods with a guy I just met. literally HA!We did end up going to dinner that night! And spent every day together following... I would go to work and come home to find that he had set up his play station in my room..sure make yourself at home!! lol.&nbsp;&nbsp;He would take my dog out for me when I couldn't take him to work. The concierge took notice and he got a key haha. After about 2-3 weeks his&nbsp;clothes slowly started making there way into my place and I'll never forget the day I came home and him and his friend Lou were in my bed playing video games. I knew that was it! We never looked back!

And so the story goes...

Our Story

Details

She's the Marcus to my Mike Lawry. The ketchup to my truffle&nbsp;fries.&nbsp;

Our story: When we met it was sort of like a blind date. lol. And neither of us felt like we needed any more friends . So clearly we were not pumped to meet&nbsp;&nbsp;each other. Wellll... hahaha thats funny! We clicked so hard. She was my female soulmate, we quickly forgot about the people we were with and the rest is history. -- Pittsburgh to Charlotte. -- From Steeler and Penguin games, family gatherings, jobs, moving to a different city together, to meeting and introducing each other to our husbands, to our DC trips, rose all day, ludacris in Wendy's parking lots, trying to save turtles, twinning, eating foot long hot dogs and Philly cheese steaks, concerts, taking the deer heads off my dads wall, Zookies, nascar races, heli&nbsp;rides, dressing in banana suits for no good reason...NEVER lets me down. haha

God gave me my sister. A&nbsp;ride or die. Someone I could not live without.&nbsp;Someone that would share in all life's events. Be there through every single thing. Val is the sweetest human EVER. She's beyond talented and we who get to have her in our lives are so very lucky!P.S. She also knows me so well...the wedding venue was ALL her!! VAL IS PURE MAGIC.

Kari and I met at an audition which we then booked together. They flew us to Chicago to shoot and while there for 3 days we did dinners and even caught a Bulls game! On our flight back to LA we had plenty of time to talk and our convo went way past surface level and from that point we both knew we were going to be family. This girl could drink champagne out of a pint glass! (now thats my kinda girl!) From breaking chairs at wine tasting safaris to beach volleyball and yoga..she is my sporty and athletic,&nbsp;lover of all things food and champagne twin! Oh and this H** IS loyal!!! hahaha -cant leave out Chris breezy!

Yas. She was my very first friend/roommate in LA. This girl had my back since day 1. unreal. So beyond thankful for her. My soul&nbsp;sister-&nbsp;could not imagine not having her in my life. And I&nbsp;know we will ALWAYS be there front and center for each other!&nbsp;&nbsp;We lived in a not so great apartment lol but its what we could afford and honestly some of my FAVORITE&nbsp;memories. (Beyonce was playing at all times) hahah. We started from the bottom together! From dance parties in our living room to movie premieres.&nbsp;She is a FORCE&nbsp;and someone that I'm so grateful to have in my corner.&nbsp;

Her heart will draw you in..shes my little white girl gangsta mix!

Al is my little cousin but more like my blood sister. I spent 3 months out of each year during the summer on my grandmas farm, where Al and her brother Matt lived next door. Barsetti Farms (our family farm).&nbsp;-&nbsp;From 3 wheelers to 4 wheelers, picking up the chicken eggs, feeding the cows and goats, working the pheasants, chuckers and quail to softball games and singing Shania Twain. She's my other&nbsp;country half!&nbsp;

Well Haley and I are dogs moms and we met at the dog bar. Yes, Dog BAR! haha. The dogs got to play and the parents could have a drink and watch TV. After days and weeks of seeing each other there we finally sat at the same table and started talking! That led to us making plans to meet&nbsp;there at the same times and eventually into making plans outside of the dog bar. She is my other Champagne Sister and nail buddy, our pups loved each other and we just became really good friends!!&nbsp;

There are no room blocks as we are not getting married on site. However, we'd love to have all our guests in one place to hang and play when there are no wedding related events! This is an ALL INCLUSIVE. This hotel is within ten minutes of the venue!!
