Josh and Allegra never envisioned themselves being in a long-distance relationship. Allegra was just starting her college journey in Buffalo, NY while Josh was finishing up his in New Brunswick, NJ. Yet, from their first conversation, there was an instant connection. For four years they emailed, texted, called, and video chatted as much as they could. Allegra and Josh both traveled the 400 miles by car, bus, or plane to spend time together. Allegra and Josh both agreed that one of the hardest parts of being in a long-distance relationship was saying goodbye after spending time together. What kept them together was the future they both envisioned with one another in it.

Allegra returned home to live with her parents on Long Island after she completed her degree. The last hurdle that could allow them to be together was passing her board certification to become a licensed occupational therapist. When she passed, it was so exciting on many different levels. Josh was already settled down in New Jersey as a pharmacy manager; therefore, it meant that Allegra searched extensively to find a job that was close to his. Within a month, Allegra got a job offer that opened the possibility of moving to New Jersey. With their parent's support, Allegra and Josh both found an apartment they were in love with and signed the lease. All the years of dreaming of living together were finally happening.

Allegra and Josh moved into their new apartment on 12/31/2018. With only a couch, a bed, a couple of kitchen items, and a TV, Allegra, and Josh felt ecstatic. With a busy day of moving in, Allegra and Josh were looking forward to spending time later that evening in their apartment. After cooking their first meal together in their apartment, Josh started to provide Allegra with small gifts throughout the night. These small gifts symbolized some of the highlighted experiences in their relationship. The last item that Josh provided Allegra was with a love letter that was to be open just before midnight. When Allegra finished reading the note it was 12:00 AM on 1/01/2019. The last sentence Josh wrote in the love letter was "P.S. Will you Marry Me????" At that time Josh got down on one knee and proposed! Since the proposal, Allegra and Josh have been happily living together in their apartment for over a year now. Allegra and Josh continue to learn about each other and grow with one another.

Allegra and Josh wanted a wedding venue that would be unique. Records showed that in 1910, Isaac Guggenheim constructed this Italian renaissance revival mansion and formally named it, Villa Carolla after his wife. The mansion has character, as it shows signs of its 110-year-old age. Allegra and Josh loved the architecture and details that present this venue as elegant and vintage. You can learn more about the mansion in the photos section and FAQs section. Josh and Allegra knew this was going to be their venue when the event coordinator stated that our wedding date fell upon the date of their anniversary of dating. Allegra had tears in her eyes thinking how special that would be. It was booked in under an hour.
