Our Wedding

We met on the very first day of freshman year at La Salle University. Both on the rowing team and sharing the same major, we quickly became friends. That summer, Bass started working at Fly OCNJ with one of Tara’s close friends, and she’d often stop by with lunch — which meant seeing him, too. When we returned to school in the fall, we became inseparable, and after dinner during Atlantic City’s restaurant week, Bass asked Tara to be his girlfriend. La Salle is where our story began, but Ocean City has always been home — from summers on the beach and the boat to buying our first home just minutes away. After eight years of love and laughter, we can’t wait to say “I do” surrounded by family and friends in the place that means the most to us.
