Our Story...

Michael and I grew up in small towns next to each other, he from Duanesburg, me from Schoharie. We circled in the same group of people for years, yet never even knew we existed until our mutual best friend Tom, took us both for some last-minute Christmas shopping in 2017.

We still joke to this day that we are polar opposites, and with that being said, we did not believe Tom when he insisted that we would be the perfect match. I'm a very loud outspoken person & Michael is very reserved and gentle. After we met, we became inseparable, hanging out every weekend and soon became best friends. It wasn't until April 2018 that we went on our first date (after I asked him!!) - the rest is history.

The Sagamore has always been my dream wedding location since I was a little girl, and my parents knew that had to be the spot when I got engaged.

Our wedding day was packed full of such fun personalities… and having such a large wedding party; 12 bridesmaids, 12 groomsmen, 5 ushers, and 2 flower girls was the best!

We simply have no regrets!

Advice

TO PASS ALONG...

• Life shouldn't be taken too seriously, and your wedding shouldn't either. It's a day to celebrate you & your partner with a crew that is true to you both. Take the stress out of it as much as possible, and simply have fun.
