Wedding Update:

We met in St. Louis, MO at&nbsp;Logan College of&nbsp;Chiropractic&nbsp;in late&nbsp;summer of 2014 while we&nbsp;both were&nbsp;attending one of the Out-patient Clinic orientations.&nbsp;Conor was a group leader and Victoria was completely new to the clinic.&nbsp; Naturally they struck up a conversation and hit it off right away.&nbsp;&nbsp;Conor was very nice and eager to help show Victoria the ropes and Victoria thought he had the best eyes she had ever gazed into. After a couple of weeks went by in clinic they continued to bond over similar interests such as music and nature.&nbsp; Eventually they started to hang out after office hours (initiated by a cup of soup while Conor was sick) and their&nbsp;first official date&nbsp;was a hike in the woods of MO and the rest is history. &lt;3&nbsp;&nbsp;

How We Met

We both knew we wanted to make it work even though Victoria still had a few more Trimesters to go at Logan. Conor moved to Massachusetts to start working at a Chiropractic&nbsp;clinic in Boston and we&nbsp;kept the fire going by doing video calls nightly and taking many weekend trips to MO and MA. Even though long distance was hard we&nbsp;continued to go to concerts&nbsp;and explored&nbsp;Boston and St. Louis&nbsp;until Victoria graduated. We&nbsp;moved to Middleboro, MA where we rented our first apartment&nbsp;together&nbsp;and&nbsp;were lucky enough to get jobs at the same office&nbsp;(Koenig Family Chiropractic).

Massachusetts

Since the beginning of our relationship we always bonded over our love for music and going to concerts (including many festivals too). Conor knew where he wanted to propose shortly after they moved to MA. On July 6th 2017 Conor told Victoria that within the year he would propose. It wasn't until their trip to Colorado where he decided to propose at&nbsp;the top of the Red Rocks Amphitheater&nbsp;&nbsp;before a Blues Traveler concert while on a trip with his two brothers Colin and Chad, Chad's wife Bekah and their son Kalyx taking pictures. (She says she knew, but she didn't :P)

Proposal

In May of 2019 we decided to leave Massachusetts and moved to Portland, ME&nbsp;to venture out on our own and open our own chiropractic office. Over the summer we were able to acclimate to our new city and by October 2019 we opened Tree of Life Chiropractic. We continue to keep up with our concerts, hikes, and love for helping the community through Chiropractic care. We continue to grow together and can't wait for this next chapter in our long journey together.

Beach House Accommodations

Beach Houses

There are a limited number of beach houses available for rent, most of which can sleep 6-10 people. If you would like to stay in one of these places please txt Victoria at 716-523-0026 and she can put you into a group to share the beach property with others to split costs.&nbsp; Please let her know if you would like to stay with specific people.&nbsp;&nbsp;

These properties will be rented out on a first come first serve basis and this will be where the party is at!&nbsp;&nbsp;If you do not&nbsp;wish&nbsp;to stay in one of the beach houses there are a few nearby hotels that we will link below.&nbsp; We do prefer that these beach houses get filled up first before the hotels that way you can stumble home on the sand safely and not have to drive anywhere :)&nbsp;Please note we do not have room blocks or discount rates at any of the nearby hotels.&nbsp;

Details + Accomodations

Courtney and I&nbsp; met in 2008 when we&nbsp;were both doing a semester abroad in Madrid, Spain and we&nbsp;instantly connected.&nbsp; Those first three months together were absolutely magical and we&nbsp;had some of the best times navigating our way through&nbsp; Spain and France while barely&nbsp;speaking either language.&nbsp;

Since then Courtney and I have remained close&nbsp; despite the thousands miles apart we&nbsp;have been for the last 8&nbsp;ish years.&nbsp; We try to visit each other at least once a year!

Courtney Sztukowski

Tyler and I met in Elementary&nbsp;school&nbsp;and the rest is history. We both had many of the same interests, from sports to video games.&nbsp;We became very close friends when we started having similar sport interests. The two biggest were Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee. It was always our goal to make sure we were pushing each other to be better. We were both defensive player on the soccer field and Tyler was the one who introduced me to the University of Maine Ultimate team.We were lucky enough to be able to go on ski trips, ultimate outings, and road trips that kept us close and continue to stay in touch whenever we can.&nbsp;

Tyler Gagnon

Taylor and I met in 2012 during our first week of Chiropractic School in St. Louis, MO.&nbsp; We were paired up in gross anatomy lab since day 1&nbsp;which helped us bond real quick.&nbsp; I feel like if you can get through dissecting a human body together and not pass out&nbsp;on the floor then you can pretty much get through anything together.&nbsp;&nbsp;Taylor was there for me throughout chiropractic school more times than I can count and I cant imagine getting through it without her as a trusted friend and study partner.&nbsp; I&nbsp;am quite certain that without Taylor keeping me in check I also would have turned into a major A$$.&nbsp; Chiropractic school is rough and it truly can&nbsp;bring&nbsp;out the worst in people, but luckily&nbsp; I had an awesome friend by my side to make sure I didn't get swallowed up.&nbsp;Taylor and I don't see each other nearly as often as we would like but we are always working towards changing that because when we do connect we pick up right where we left off without skipping a beat.&nbsp;

Taylor Scott

Dylan and I met when we were in High School. We were also on the soccer team at John Bapst. We continued our friendship through undergrad even though we went to different schools.&nbsp;Dylan would always come and visit us when he was back in town and we stayed close. While at Chiropractic school Dylan came to visit and once we moved to Mass he came and stayed with Victoria and me.&nbsp;He was instrumental to creating our love for&nbsp;board games and sparked our interest in climbing. We were also lucky to be able to see him when we went to Colorado in 2018 where we went for an amazing hike to the hanging lake outside of Vail.

Dylan Connole

Mitchell and I met when he was born and I was 4 years old and honestly I can remember that day like it was yesterday because it was the best day of my life at the time.&nbsp; Dad picked me up from preschool and took me to the hospital to meet my new baby bother. I was over the moon&nbsp;excited that I finally had a sibling to nurture and help take care of.&nbsp; This is probably where my "mothering and momma bear like qualities" developed from a young age.&nbsp;Mitch and I can go months without talking and then pick up the phone and catch up like nothing happened.&nbsp; I know that I can always count on Mitch to be there for me because he has the biggest heart and is truly a great human.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mitchell Roth

Alex and I met when we were in Chiropractic School. We joined one of the Fraternities at the school and found we shared many interests.&nbsp;While going through school we made&nbsp;sure we were on track with our studies. while still staying positive.&nbsp;We both agree to this day that it would have been way too stressful without our distractions to get us through. Our best distractions were playing music for hours, going to concerts and&nbsp;playing&nbsp;video games. Knowing we had similar interests made it easy to be roommates for most of the time we were at Logan.Since we have graduated we&nbsp;continue to keep up our video gaming&nbsp;and use each other to bounce ideas off of&nbsp;through our business ventures.

Alex Green

I&nbsp;first met Colin when we were born. Twinning! We were always close as we were growing up, sticking with the same friend groups and having the same interests in music, sports and video games.&nbsp;

As we grew up, we have continued to keep each other up to date on our favorite songs to listen to, running ideas past each other, and supporting each other as much as we can. We also keep jamming and video gaming as much as we can.

Colin Campbell

Jacob and I met when he was born and I was almost 9 and &nbsp;Mitch was 4.&nbsp; I was just as excited to get a second brother as I&nbsp;was the first and I &nbsp;remember meeting him for the first time too.&nbsp; It has been such an honor being a big sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the years I spent teaching them both good and bad things.&nbsp;Jacob spent a lot of time visiting&nbsp;me in the summers when I was in chiropractic school and I will never forget those times as they were some of my favorite memories together.&nbsp; He was also the first family member that let me try out my newly learned adjusting skills on him so bonus points because I was kind of terrible when I first started.&nbsp; :)It is crazy to think that now my little brother Jake&nbsp;has two little ones of his own but&nbsp;watching him step up to be the best father to them has been such a joy.&nbsp; Also being an auntie (pronounced ANTie) is pretty cool too.&nbsp; ;)

Jacob Roth

I first met Chad when I&nbsp;was born. Being our older brother he has always been a role model for me. He is the one who introduced me to playing music and brought me to my first concert.&nbsp;Many of my favorite memories come from the many trips we have been able to take. Especially, our trips to Colorado where we were able to experience Red Rocks Amphitheater for the first time and ultimately was how I knew it was where I&nbsp;wanted to propose.&nbsp;We continue to keep our love for Toyota alive and stay in touch as much as we can.

Chad Campbell

Dave and I met as enemies (Chess enemies :P) since he played for Orrington Middle School while I&nbsp;played for Holbrook Middle School. Luckily it didn't last long because once we got to High School everything changed.&nbsp;We then started playing competitively against each other as teammates and were lucky enough to travel to&nbsp;Nationals for multiple&nbsp;years. We also were teammates on the Soccer team.&nbsp;We continue to stay close by visiting as much as we can, enjoying local coffee shops and hosting Friendsgivings.&nbsp;
