Toni and Rachel are Getting Married! 

Once upon a time (because all great love stories start like that), two friends—one of Toni’s and one of Rachel’s—played Cupid and set us up on a blindish date.Miraculously, it wasn’t a disaster: we hit it off instantly and have been stuck with each other ever since. Sorry, not sorry. Since then we’ve built a life full of laughs, love, and just the right amount of chaos.We spend most of our time with friends and family, arguing over who makes the better pizza (spoiler: it’s totally Toni), and indulging Rachel’s very real Disney addiction—if there’s a Mickey-shaped snack, she’s eaten it. Twice.We love cooking, grilling, fishing, and going to country concerts—where Rachel sings every word and Toni pretends not to but secretly knows almost all of them.Our story wouldn’t be complete without our four-legged roommates: Matilda, our loyal (and slightly dramatic) cat who wants to be left alone, and Diesel, our dog with main-character energy who runs the household and lets us live here as long as we follow his rules and bring treats.When we’re not on the water, walking Diesel, or trying to make peace between Matilda and her brother, we’re probably planning our next adventure—or deciding what to have for dinner for the hundredth time.We can’t wait to tie the knot in Andover throw a big party and celebrate with the people who helped make our love story what it is—slightly ridiculous, full of joy, and perfectly us.

Wedding Party

Q: What’s the dress code?A: Dress to impress — and dance! The ceremony will be semi-formal; cocktail hour and the reception will be both indoor and outdoor, so we recommend breathable layers and comfortable shoes. The venue will have air conditioning inside. Q: Are kids invited?A: We love your kids, but we’re keeping the celebration adults-only so everyone can relax and celebrate. We hope you’ll still be able to join us. Q: What time should we arrive?A: For the ceremony at the church, please arrive by 1:45 PM. Cocktail hour at the Reserve at Perona Farms begins at 6:30 PM, followed by the reception at 7:30 PM. Q: Will there be transportation or parking available?A: There will be a shuttle from the Holiday Inn to Perona Farms—please let us know if you plan to take it. There is also on-site parking at the venue. Rideshares are limited at Perona Farms, so plan to use the shuttle or arrange transportation in advance. Q: What should I do if I have dietary restrictions?A: We’ve included vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options. Please let your server know your needs when ordering, or contact us ahead of time if you have specific concerns. Q: Can I bring a plus-one?A: If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes. If it does not, we’re keeping the day intimate and can only accommodate guests listed on the invite. Q: Do you have hotel accommodations?A: We reserved a room block at the Holiday Inn in Mt. Arlington. Please call to book by 07/29/26 to guarantee the reduced rate—use code F14 when booking.
