On our first international trip together, we ventured to Italy. Despite seeing some of the most beautiful and breathtaking cities and eating the most incredible food, Monterosso Al Mare was something special. Its small town charm and beautiful beaches blew us away. When we got engaged, despite trying to make other places fit, it felt the most special and we knew it was where we should get married. Now, as we near our wedding day, we have found the most incredible venue where the views are breathtaking and the food is (somehow- it's hard to believe) the best we've ever tried. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you!

Rob and Sam’s story began with a connection they both felt right away, something that quickly proved to be real and lasting. From the start, being together felt easy, like they had found the person they were meant to share their everyday lives with. Not long in, Rob almost said “I love you” after only their third date, catching himself just in time and laughing it off, but in hindsight, it wasn’t premature, it was just honest. In their early days together in Brooklyn, they built a life filled with laughter, curiosity, and a shared excitement for what was ahead. That same spirit took them far beyond the city, traveling together to Florida, Italy, Hawaii, and Japan, with each place becoming part of their story. As their relationship grew, so did their life together, eventually leading them to move from Brooklyn to Jersey City and build a home side by side. Rob admires Sam’s determination and warmth, and Sam admires Rob’s steadiness and sense of humor, a balance that has grounded them through everything. Whether they’re exploring a new corner of the world or enjoying a slow morning at home with lattes, it’s the time spent together that matters most. Over time, what they’ve built has become a true partnership rooted in trust, respect, and deep love. Choosing forever felt natural, and they’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
