Our love story

Although we did not know it at the time, we both attended Northeastern Univ. as undergrads - even living on the same street! We met 2 years later during our first year of law school and have been inseparable since then. Running is a huge part of my life, and Nicole never misses a race. I proposed last March just before crossing the finish line of the NYC Half Marathon. Nicole was more than surprised! She cost my finish time a few mins, but her saying yes made it all worth it.

Three important details about our ultimate wedding.

(1) Family - we want our family with us to celebrate the joyous occasion. We each have huge families and having everyone together for our wedding would be one of the greatest parts of the day;(2) Great music to keep all generations on the dance floor - a 10-piece band with a great horn section, a DJ for the breaks, and even an Italian singer to sing a few for the folks from the old country; and (3) An outdoor reception overlooking lower Manhattan - where we had our first date and got engaged.

Our ultimate dream home.

We call our style contemporary awesomeness-dark wood, sleek lines, high ceilings, and eye-catching accent pieces. Our dream home would have an open layout fit for entertaining-with an island in our kitchen, which leads to our living room. Our furniture would be handsome but comfortable, with ample access to our multi-level backyard oasis. Our home would have John's 9-year young Crate & Barrel sectional (it still looks new and receives compliments), as well as the great buys on our C&B registry.
