Tell Us Your Love Story

How did you meet?

We were both counsellors at the same Long Island day camp and met as opposing Color War Generals. Despite the fact that we were on different teams, we sure spent a lot of time together and ended up making it official the following summer!

How did he put a ring on it?

Jeremy turned a vacant apartment overlooking the NYC skyline into a snapshot of our relationship throughout the years. The entire proposal was a blur for me, but from what I was later told, I laughed hysterically the entire time and then proceeded to cry, a lot. After I said “yes,” he surprised me by having our families there to celebrate and by ordering my favorite: pizza and wine!

Where did you draw inspiration from?

The venue really inspired my vision! I found Red Maple Vineyard a few years ago on Instagram and knew I had to get married there. It was the perfect combination of rustic and elegant, and that really inspired the entire day.

What made the wedding personal to you?

We really made the day our own. We didn’t include many of the “typical” traditions you see at weddings, but instead filled up as much time as we could on the dance floor! That was most important to us, keeping our guests up on their feet and filling the night with love, laughter and so much dancing!

What were you most nervous or excited about?

On the day of the wedding, there wasn’t really anything that made me nervous specifically, but I definitely did feel some butterflies from anticipation! While I was getting ready I kept saying “I can’t wait to see Jeremy”. It was the only thing I knew would calm me down, and I was so right! As soon as we did our first look, all my nerves went out the window and we just enjoyed the day together, never leaving each other’s side.

Now, the most important part – the Dress!

Tell us about your dress?

Of course, the dress!! GIULETTA was the second dress I tried on and I said yes right there! I had literally just started looking, but as soon as I put it on, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for, and it fit me and our day perfectly.

What stockist did you get it from?

Lovely Bride, NYC

What was your most memorable moment from your day?

The last song at our wedding was The Time of My Life, from Dirty Dancing. I, of course, had to reenact the iconic scene from the movie and we did, surrounded by all of our guests cheering us on!
