We have spent a lot of time apart in our relationship. Because of this, when we do get to be together, we really enjoy doing typical day to day things…grocery shopping, making dinner, goofing around, watching our favorite tv shows (the office, great British baking show, criminal minds, and planet earth), going to our families houses for dinner, and harassing our cat, Charlie. We know that our relationship has been so successful is because we completely trust each other and have never doubted the commitment of the other to our relationship. This is something we felt initially when Pat would travel for work, and I was stuck in Troy working on my degree and even now as I’m still stuck in Troy and Pat is working on his degree in New Hampshire. We have encouraged each other to make choices that allow us to be the best version of ourselves and reach for our goals even though it kept us apart. We both fully believe in delayed gratification and are excited that our marriage marks the beginning of our life together (in the same location too).

Anthony and Gabriella met in 2020 and became boyfriend and girlfriend by their second date. They knew pretty early on that this was something different, something special. Anthony quickly became dad to Gabriella’s puppy and has since arguably become the favorite parent. In under a year of dating Anthony asked Gabriella to think about buying a home together the following year, he asked her to marry him on the anniversary of the day they met two years later. They saved up money for years and in 2023 they bought their first home. They continued saving and had their dream wedding in 2024. They share a love for living a slower, quiet life and both enjoy being outside in nature. This is only their beginning; they’ll keep you posted <3.
