Our Wedding

Our love story began in the most modern of ways — on Bumble! After swiping right in September of 2022, we quickly found ourselves chatting and laughing about anything and everything. After only a day or two of talking, we planned to meet for dinner at La Scala Birra in Pennsauken on Cooper River. We had the best time and we spent another hour or two walking around the river afterwards just getting to know each other more. As we said our goodbyes, we were already planning when we were going to see each other again. We went pumpkin picking that weekend and every week after that we would spend Wednesday nights and the weekends together (since we lived about 45 minutes apart). By December, we went on our first trip together - to NYC for a Christmas concert and then a weekend in the Catskill mountains. It is still one of our favorite trips we’ve taken together - being in NYC during Christmastime, waking up to snow in the Catskills, and going for our first hike in the snow - simply magical! Since then, we have been to 13 different states and created so many memories together. Going to Virginia and exploring Shenandoah National Park, to Vermont for snowboarding, to Canada to experience Niagra Falls, to OBX with the most beautiful sunsets, to upstate NY to celebrate our one year anniversary, to Rhode Island for all you can eat seafood, to Sea Isle with our dog Indie for so many sunrises, to Pennsylvania for hiking, to Maine and New Hampshire for so much sightseeing and hiking Mt. Washington, and the most special trip ever - Lake Placid, New York. This trip was actually for Nick’s sister Olivia’s birthday, but little did I know she was sharing her birthday weekend with me! Nick proposed to me on Mirror Lake, surrounded by beautiful snowy mountains and some of our favorite people. Lake Placid definitely holds a special place in our hearts and we cannot wait to visit again. We have had so much fun together since the moment we met and have made so many amazing memories and we both cannot wait for this next chapter in our lives!
