Our Wedding

Hello lovely guests, I'm Victoria, the kind-hearted one, and he is Justin, the charming and loyal partner I have been waiting for my whole life. For the sake of clarity, I am going to tell you about how Justin and I fell in love. Justin claims that I take too long when it comes to storytelling. It’s only because I believe that every detail is equally important on how we became the Future Przypeks! Our love story began on a seemingly ordinary day but turned into something absolutely extraordinary. It was March 13th, 2021, when we first met through a mutual friend at a restaurant. I remember feeling immediately drawn to Justin's charm, and he was intrigued to know more about the witty girl sitting next to him on that barstool. Fast-forward a bit and our journey together truly began on June 12th, 2021. The two of us wandered off from the group at a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. After advising him to put $200 on black, which he won thank you very much, we shared our first kiss. I knew there was something special about Justin that I couldn't quite put into words - could've been the booze! Although our timing always seemed to be off, finally our first date came, and it was filled with laughter and stolen mason jar cups. Yes, you read that right! On January 14th, 2022, Justin cheekily pocketed a mason jar cup from the restaurant we were dining at, and now that same cup sits in my classroom holding my pens. It may seem silly, but it holds a special place in our hearts as a symbol of not only theft, but the beginning of a lifetime. After a month of dates, coffee runs, and binge watching movies, Justin asked me to be his girlfriend on February 12th, 2022. Exactly a week later, at a cabin in Vermont, Justin turned to me right before bed and said I love you. I know what you're thinking - that is way too soon. But hey, timing was never something we were good at nor did we ever care to pay attention to! One of the many things we love to do together is travel and explore new restaurants. We have created countless memories over delicious meals and breathtaking sights, and we cherish these moments dearly. But our relationship wasn't always smooth sailing. We faced challenges along the way that tested our love and commitment to each other. However, through it all, we knew that we were worth fighting for and that our love was worth every struggle. The day Justin proposed to me, while we were cutting down our first Christmas tree for our new home, will forever be etched in my heart. November 24th, 2023 was a magical day filled with love and the promise of a lifetime together. As we look towards the future, our hopes and dreams are simple yet profound. We aim to create a loving home, grow old in love, cherish lasting friendship, and seize every moment that comes our way. To all of our friends and family who have supported us from the very beginning, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your love and encouragement have meant the world to us, and we are blessed to have you by our sides. We want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of our next chapter. Your presence at our wedding means more to us than words can express, and we are overjoyed to share this special day with all of you. With love and blessings, Victoria and Justin P.S. till the break of dawn - Justin

Kenny has known Justin since he was five-years-old and has been the older brother Justin never had. Not only has Kenny kept Justin out of trouble, but he has definitely been his voice of reason when Justin gets the urge to 'choke someone out'. Kenny was the first person to know about the beginning of Victoria and Justin. From daily phone calls in the work van to finally meeting Kenny (& Raquel!) over PB&J wings, Victoria always knew the level of importance Kenny would be in their life. Before the two were even engaged, they knew they were going to ask Kenny to marry them.

Luna is one of the best things to ever happen to Victoria and Justin. The couple rescued her in April of 2022. Since then, she has forced Victoria and Justin to take her on long walks on the beach and for ice cream dates. Luna is the quirkiest, most lovable girl in the world. She loves relaxing on her bean bag bed and bringing all of her toys to your feet to convince you to play with her. Luna is most excited for this wedding so she can gain more brothers and sisters (dogs people)!

The Ladies

Jenn is Victoria's big sister/second mom. Jenn has been obsessed with Victoria since the day she was born - it’s taken Vic a bit longer to show that the feeling has always been mutual. Growing up, Victoria played very hard to get with Jenn, not showing that she was actually excited to hang out with her and her friends. As they've gotten older, Jenn has always been Vic's go to for advice and brings a lot to the table for this wedding with her event planning experience. 

Jennifer LaGrippo

Not only has Danielle been Victoria’s best friend since they were six, but she is practically her second sister. She has been apart of the couple's relationship since the day Justin asked Victoria to be his girlfriend - literally, it was at Danielle's birthday party! The three can be found road tripping to Florida, in the corner of the bar people watching, or simply having an hour phone call catching up on life. She is the definition of a loyal friend and has always been the couple's number one supporter. 

Danielle

Victoria (Tori) is Victoria’s college best friend. From college orientation, being glued at the hip for all four years, to now planning their weddings at the same time. Vic & Tori are more than just college roommates, they are soul friends. When Tori’s phone isn’t dead & when Vic’s phone has service, you are in trouble! These two will talk for hours, catching up on all the hours they missed since the last they spoke. Tori is the most passionate, personable friend that Victoria has. Tori is Vic’s lobster! 

Victoria Mooney

Carina is one of Victoria's childhood friends. Victoria tells everyone that Carina has always been the most mature, thoughtful, down-to-earth girl she has ever known. If you have a problem or you are overthinking something, Carina is the perfect person to call - when she is not traveling abroad! Carina also crushes it behind the camera (check out the Capri Pizza photoshoot if you don’t believe me). She is the true definition of a girl's girl!

Carina Papa

Kaitlyn has been one of Justin's best friends since freshman year of high school. When Victoria and Kaitlyn met, Victoria understood why Justin is so fond of her. Kaitlyn is the life of the party, rocking bald caps and any other theme you throw her way. She can make conversation with anyone - besides T Pain who still hasn't answered one of her thousands of DMs on Instagram! Even though Kaitlyn is always traveling around the world, she always makes it a point to keep in touch with Victoria & Justin. Kaitlyn is one of the kindest people Victoria has the pleasure of now calling her friend!

Kaitlyn Wells

The youngest of the crew, Leanna is Victoria's mini-me cousin. Growing up, Victoria always looked out for Leanna. Whether it was dealing with teenage drama or avoiding trouble with the family at Sunday dinner, Leanna would turn to Victoria for anything. When it came time to deciding colleges, Victoria was practically in tears when she found out Leanna was following in her footsteps to become a teacher and attending SUNY Cortland. Victoria is always a FaceTime away for Leanna - mostly calls for "can you read over this essay?".

The Gents

If you know Justin and Kyle, then you know that growing up these two kept their parents on their toes. From getting into trouble to playing sports, you could always find these two together ... unless Justin had already left the house because he was tired of waiting for Kyle to get ready. They may not agree on every situation, but if you cross one of them then you cross both of them. Luckily, Justin will always have a lawyer on speed dial (if Kyle ever decides to take his phone off of do not disturb)

Kyle Przypek

Thomas and Justin are the two people you want to be with when sh*t hits the fan. Since high school, these two have shared a bond over football, leading them to be captains of their team. They both continued their love for football in college, although one of them went pro and I'll give you a hint, it's not Justin. Who would've thought that a 5 foot 10 Paisan and a 6 foot 5 Irishman would become as close as these two?

Thomas Costigan

In 2015, Justin and Cory instantly bonded over each others tattoos in the Springfield Football Locker Room. Like the scene from Stepbrothers, they instantly realized they just became best friends. These two were always found living a GTL lifestyle - gym, tan, laundry - while dressed in the same outfit. 

Cory Desimone

Justin and Drew met in elementary school, but their friendship became even stronger when they reached high school. Between family vacations and being captains on their high school lacrosse team together, Justin and Drew were always their for one another - even when Justin started a few unnecessary 'confrontations'  during lacrosse season. 

Drew Scanlan

Justin never thought he would have a second pain in the a** younger brother, until Dom came along. These two bonded instantly from high school sports, to UConn Stamford, to becoming bodega brothers for life. For every medical emergency, Dom is Justin's personal health care provider from afar. 

Dom Svrcek

One of Justin's oldest friends, Tyler and Justin were always mistaken for being twins - or maybe it was because they convinced their entire middle school that they were adopted and separated at birth. From playing on the same middle school football team, to then competing against each other in high school. They are the type of friends that simply pick up where they left off.

Slumber Party!

I will be transparent with you all, the Courtyard Middletown Goshen hotel is a tad difficult to work with. Unfortunately, our hotel block has been filled. There are 3 other weddings staying at this hotel which limited the amount of rooms we can block off here at this location. There are no longer rooms available in this hotel! If you were able to book here outside of the room block, please let the hotel know you are apart of the LaGrippo-Przypek Wedding.
