“Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.” J.D. Salinger

Our story began in 2006 when Cat’s roommate, Nikki, hosted a few of her Hellertown friends at the house they shared at Drexel Univ. While everyone else was involved in an impromptu wrestling match, we were bonding over our love of music, specifically Incubus. We crossed paths through our circle of mutual friends a few times after we originally met, but did not begin dating until two years later when Ricci moved to Philly. Most of our dates took place in neighborhood bars, like Oscar's Tavern down the street from Ricci's apartment on Cherry Street. We moved into our "Two Street" apartment five or six years ago. The topic of marriage came up shortly after. After much procrastinating, Ricci proposed to Cat close to the end of 2019. We had an engagement ring made from an antique diamond passed down to Ricci by his Mom from his Grandmother. Now we are planning our dream wedding and are excited to start our married lives together. We chose to have our wedding and reception at Talamore Country Club because we love the beautiful grounds and peaceful atmosphere. We are so excited you are sharing this momentous occasion with us and are thankful for your love and support as we take this next step together.
