We met in high school as 15 and 16-year old kids. When Gregory and I got close, he quickly introduced me to his best friend. He was funny, cute and everyone knew him & his booming laugh. He was an amazing listener, was so caring and had such a beautiful heart. Dominic was always making me smile and I loved the person he was, no matter what.
Dominic and I kept in touch on facebook mostly. I would check in with him to see how he was doing, always wishing him the best and telling him I was thinking of him. We would see each other every year at The Big Time and hug for what felt like a lifetime. We cared for each other so deeply and he always made sure i knew i was loved
I came home from college for the summer of 2013. It was the best summer of my life. I was with my friends every day, singing karaoke, drinking until wee hours of the night and being young and alive. At the end of July, I ran into my friend Dominic at The Pub & fell in love with him in that moment. we've been inseparable ever since. "when I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew"
We booked our first real vaca together in 6 years - VEGAS. I was so excited & I wanted it documented. I'm a photographer, always behind the camera - so I wanted photos of us obviously. I found a photographer named Sam online and booked a photo shoot at Red Rock Canyon. Little did I know, Dominic was going to use this spectacular location, to be the back drop of the biggest moment of our lives. I said yes, standing in the canyons, crying harder than ever. as Brooke Davis once said, "it's what I wished for."
on sunday we became the DiEmidios. We were both so nervous for days leading up to the start of the ceremony, but once we locked eyes when I came through the door, nothing else mattered. We had the ceremony of our dreams, thanks to our officiant Chris Connelly and the wedding of our dreams thanks to Trout Lake, Karen from Events by Gillian & Co and every single one of you that attended. We love you all so much.
