Our Story...
Adam and I met in Syracuse while I was working at the front desk of the school gym in PA (Physician Assistant) School. It was 2020 COVID times, when you had to sign in to use the limited number of open gym spaces and Adam was a medical student who always seemed to work out during my shifts. After weeks of small talk, he eventually asked me out and the rest is history!
Once he graduated from medical school in 2023, we moved to Portland, Maine for his residency training in urology and we still live there today. I got a job in cardiology in the same hospital, and we sometimes are lucky enough to run into each other for cafeteria lunch dates! He proposed at sunset on our local beach after a private dinner on Great Diamond Island with a diamond given to him by his grandmother.
While we love Maine, we wanted to come back home to New York for our wedding. I grew up in Rochester but always loved exploring the mountains and lakes while visiting Adam's family in Queensbury, making Lake George an obvious choice. We were married by Adam's childhood priest and celebrated with our closest family and friends at the Carriage house for the stunning views of the mountains and lake.
We had the most incredible day. The weather was absolutely perfect, our vendors kept the day flowing on schedule, and we somehow partied until 3 AM. I cannot be more thankful for my family and our vendors who handled everything for us, so we could truly live in the moment and enjoy our day together. I want to re-live our day again and again!

Generations of love
I wore the earrings my mother wore on her wedding day, and her wedding dress was
turned into my getting ready robe.
We also did a "generations of love dance" where all eight of our still-married grandparents, our parents and us danced to "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis after our first dance.
Getting Creative
We had static window clings we designed
on Canva for venue windows/mirrors.
We also designed on Canva and used a Circuit to make 50 shirts and did a T-shirt toss on our dance floor.
