join us for our happily ever after party

Join the bride and groom for a reception party in Phoenix, Arizona on May 1st, 2022 celebrating their recent marriage on April 29th, 2022 in Cancun, Mexico!

We met freshman year at college and immediately became great friends! We were in the same friend group and hung out together ALL the time. I would visit AZ and see Rachel and her family and Rachel would visit NY to see my family and I, but it was always as friends. It wasn't until our junior year of college when we realized that we weren't just best friends, but we also had feelings for each other. We began dating and moved to NYC shortly after graduating from college. After 4 years of dating, I asked Rachel to marry me and the rest is history!

We were at Char Vale Winery on the first day of our trip with my family in Sonoma Country, CA when Blake proposed to me. I had absolutely no idea it was coming, even though my mom had warned me that "this winery is fancy so we need to dress nice" (there was no dress code). While we were on the winery tour, the tour guide had Blake and I walk down one of the rows of vines where we were supposed to look for a weed that grows near the grapes. While we were walking, Blake turned, got on one knee and pulled out a ring. Somewhere in there, he asked me to marry him, but I was so surprised that I didn't even believe it was truly happening until I saw my ring in the box he was holding. I started screaming and jumping out of excitement. We ran back to my family where we got to celebrate the rest of the day together. The best day ever!
