Our Wedding

About Us... It was February of 2019 when our love story first began. There must have been magic in those first date Tully Tenders because before we knew it we were making future plans and having fun getting to know one another. Fast forward to March of 2020 and we decided the onset of a global pandemic was the perfect time to shack up and that's when the real fun began. There's nothing like, "there's literally nowhere else to go or anyone else we can see" to really bond a couple and put them to the test. Well, judging by our home renovations, completed puzzles and experimental recipes, we would say we passed with flying colors! We will fast forward the story again to November 7th, 2020 - an unseasonably warm 65 and sunny morning in Ellicottville, NY and there we find Robby down on one knee, and the easiest "YES" of Courtney's life. Since then we have been thoughtfully planning our "Big Day", got ourselves a goldendoodle (named "Tully" of course), and continue to find the joy in every day. We strive to never take for granted the comfort that comes with navigating this thing called "life" with your best friend. We are so looking forward to exchanging our vows on March 26, 2022 and celebrating our marriage with each and every one of you! Love,Courtney &amp; Rob (Disclaimer: This "About Us" story was written solely by Courtney, admitted only to spare Robby harassment for any of the above corny account of our relationship)

Our Story

Photos

Andrea and I met on the very first day of law school at University at Buffalo in 2012 and have been inseparable best friends ever since. Sharing a love of movies, good burgers and the Buffalo Bills bonded us early, but it has been seeing each other through the ups and downs of life since then that has sealed our friendship for a lifetime.

Kelsey and I started as coworkers with desks 3 feet apart and quickly realized we were forging a friendship that would go way beyond New Era. Kelsey (and her adorable son, our ringbearer, Remy) have been big fans of "Uncle Rob" from the beginning and we could not imagine our wedding day without both of them by our sides.

Kelsey Foster

Bridgette and I met when we were 15 years old playing AAU basketball - we both somehow got recruited to play college ball despite all the Salsa Doritos we consumed at tournaments, and eventually became roommates & teammates at Daemen College. I was honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding to the love of her life, DJ, and I couldn't imagine 03/26 without her by my side.

Bridgette Johnson

Julia is my cousin, but has always felt more like my sister. Our moms are sisters & since we both only have brothers we have found a special bond that I am so grateful for. Jules, I could not imagine my wedding day without you, but more importantly, I could never imagine life without your never-ending words of encouragement and love.

Monica and I met in 2010 playing college basketball at Daemen and bonded over "tall girl problems" being 6'2" and 6'4". Our friendship only grew stronger after graduation and despite living in different countries over the last decade+ we have packed in a lifetime of memories - traveling, laughing and just plain old shenanigans as we like to call them.  My mom used to tease me and say that Monica was her "favorite daughter" and I can't say that I blame her! I love you, sissy and I cannot imagine my wedding day without you by my side!

Joe and I went to different elementary schools but as fate would have it, his cousin lived in my neighborhood so we became friends at a very young age. We made priceless memories throughout our time in middle and high school from playing football to countless parties. We were roommates after college, and were inseparable friends doing everything together from family parties to trips to Home Depot for one of our countless house construction projects ("New Tool Saturdays"). Court and I love boat days and Beer Project takeout nights with Joe and his wife Lindsay, and are so excited for their beautiful daughter, Chloe to be our flower girl! Joe is truly a brother to me and it means the world to me to have him stand next to me as my Best Man.

Joe Kennedy

Steve ("Swan") and I met in middle school and later played football together in high school up to Swan's early retirement in 11th grade. We made countless memories in high school, stayed close through college and were roommates after college until he left town for work. When Swan moved back to Buffalo in 2019 he moved in with me and we enjoyed one last stint of bromance before my permanent roommate (Courtney) moved in. I consider Steve my brother and I couldn't imagine getting married without him by my side as my Best Man.

Steve Drabinski

Joe and I met through a mutual friend and became quick pals.  Joe and I worked together for a few years and have teamed up on countless construction projects (like re-siding my entire house and replacing 13 windows in 99 degree heat).  I look forward to getting back at it once Joe retires for the 3rd time.  Despite Joe being a few years older than me, it turns out we are the same person - from our strong work ethic to our disdain of vegetables and our love of pizza. I am honored to have Joe as my groomsman and truly consider him a lifelong friend.

Joe Bennett

Jack and I met in college at The University of Rochester where we were in the same fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE). Our friendship only grew stronger after graduation and I am glad he decided to move to Buffalo so we can continue to make a lifetime of memories. Jack has always been there for me through the ups and downs and I am thrilled he said yes to being my groomsman.

Jack Greco

Nicky and I met at Sweet Home Middle School in 1996. We became good friends while playing football together throughout high school. Luckily, Nick went to Brockport when I went to U of R so we were able to stay close in college. We have been there for each other through all of life's highs and lows and I couldn't imagine not having him by my side on our "big day".
