Our Wedding

Jacob and I have a love story that is so simple, but yet full of excitement. I fell in love with him because he smiled at a joke I said in high school. It took a couple years, but he finally asked me on a date. I talked nervously the whole time we were ice skating. Finally, he asked me if I would be his girlfriend. I was so excited and so scared, but it all felt right.We quickly began spending all of our free time together. Laughing, me always talking,&nbsp;and going on adventures. Quickly and slowly, time started to pass by.I decided to spend a year abroad in Europe. I didn't know what would happen to us or how I would handle long distance, but I packed a bag and left. Jacob came to visit me and everything took off where we left it. We traveled to cities in&nbsp;France, Italy, Ireland, and England together. It was the most magical month that we spent together--especially, because we got engaged. On a cold Christmas Eve, Jacob proposed to me at my favorite part of my "home city" in France.Jacob is the best human being and my best friend. I could not imagine the past few years without him and I know I do not want a future that he is not in. He is smart, funny, kind, and caring. He knows me better than I know myself. Jacob is my person and is the person that I know I will be happy spending everyday of the rest of my life with.

Our Story

Details

Alexandria is my younger sister and a bright young soul. She can recite lines of our favorite childhood TV shows and make me laugh so hard that I cry. Alexandria pushes me to be better in everything I do and to be a better person.&nbsp;She is a determined young woman that has a beautiful future waiting for her.&nbsp;Alexandria is important to me because she brings a light into my life that I could not find anywhere else. My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.

Alexandria McBride

Christian&nbsp;is&nbsp;important&nbsp;to&nbsp;me&nbsp;because&nbsp;he&nbsp;is&nbsp;my&nbsp;best&nbsp;friend&nbsp;(well&nbsp;except&nbsp;for&nbsp;Victoria,&nbsp;sorry&nbsp;Christian).&nbsp;We&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;friends&nbsp;since&nbsp;high&nbsp;school.&nbsp;Christian&nbsp;has&nbsp;always&nbsp;been&nbsp;there&nbsp;for&nbsp;me&nbsp;for&nbsp;help,&nbsp;advice,&nbsp;or&nbsp;anything&nbsp;I&nbsp;need.&nbsp;He&nbsp;has&nbsp;been&nbsp;a&nbsp;motivation&nbsp;all&nbsp;throughout&nbsp;school&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;me&nbsp;determined&nbsp;to&nbsp;succeed&nbsp;(plus&nbsp;he's&nbsp;pretty&nbsp;smart&nbsp;so&nbsp;he's&nbsp;good&nbsp;at&nbsp;helping&nbsp;me&nbsp;learn&nbsp;things&nbsp;I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;understand).

Christian Ferger

Jordan is Victoria's brother-in-law and I have known him for almost five years. It took me a while to get to know him but I think he's pretty cool. He always tells me that I can come over and play video games with him if I ever get bored or tired of Victoria (I have taken him up on this offer in the past). He also lets me steal beer from him so that's another plus in my book.

Jordan Allen

Dominique is my older sister and also my role model. I watched as she paved the way through high school, college, and then starting a career. I took notes on everything she did and knew I had to do it better (the typical younger sister attitude). Dominique is intelligent and always willing to lend a helping hand. Dominique is important to me because she helped guide me into what "adult" life would look like and I cannot thank her enough for the encouragement over the years.&nbsp;My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.

Dominique Allen

Melissa is my oldest sister and has always played an important role in my life. She has always been there to support me and help me when I needed it. Melissa is always willing to listen or lend a shoulder for support. Melissa is so caring, kind, and helpful. Melissa is important to me because she is always there to listen and offer advice whenever I am unsure what to do.&nbsp;My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.

Melissa McBride

Angelo&nbsp;is&nbsp;important&nbsp;to&nbsp;me&nbsp;because&nbsp;he&nbsp;offers&nbsp;real&nbsp;life&nbsp;advice&nbsp;to&nbsp;help&nbsp;Victoria&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;move&nbsp;forward&nbsp;to&nbsp;reach&nbsp;our&nbsp;goals&nbsp;(let's&nbsp;be&nbsp;honest,&nbsp;without&nbsp;him&nbsp;helping&nbsp;us&nbsp;with&nbsp;budgeting,&nbsp;we&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;broke).&nbsp;Angelo&nbsp;has&nbsp;always&nbsp;been&nbsp;there&nbsp;to&nbsp;guide&nbsp;Victoria&nbsp;and&nbsp;has&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;become&nbsp;a&nbsp;big&nbsp;part&nbsp;of&nbsp;my&nbsp;life.&nbsp;We&nbsp;love&nbsp;having&nbsp;drinks&nbsp;or&nbsp;finding&nbsp;cool&nbsp;restaurants&nbsp;all&nbsp;over&nbsp;Buffalo&nbsp;(like&nbsp;the&nbsp;Viking,&nbsp;everyone&nbsp;should&nbsp;go&nbsp;there).&nbsp;Victoria&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;become&nbsp;pretty&nbsp;close&nbsp;friends&nbsp;with&nbsp;Angelo&nbsp;and&nbsp;his&nbsp;wife,&nbsp;Jenn,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;know&nbsp;we&nbsp;will&nbsp;continue&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;good&nbsp;friends&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;future.

Angelo Conti

Cameron is my younger brother. He's pretty quiet but I have learned that he will talk a lot&nbsp;if it's about a video game he likes, a sports team he likes, or anything related to Marvel. We don't always act like we're super close to each other, but I think we are and we're both just people that like to keep feelings on the inside. He really is important to me and I wanted him to know that by having him be a part of my wedding.

I began to get to know Samantha when I started dating Jacob. I loved learning more about who she was just like a younger sister. I love taking her side, standing up for her, and gossiping about girl stuff.&nbsp;I have watched her grow the last few years and she is growing up to be an amazing young woman.&nbsp;She is&nbsp;beautiful, smart,&nbsp;funny, and&nbsp;I am very proud to call her&nbsp;my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Samantha is important to me because she has a joke when I need one and a hug always ready.&nbsp;My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.
