It all began at a concert on the Lower East Side. We had both been invited to check out a band playing by mutual friends. Escaping the heavy rock music playing, we met at the bar, where in one instant, our lives would change forever. We spent the rest of the evening amongst friends chatting, dancing, and grabbing late night tacos - one of those perfectly random New York City nights. We left the evening with not so much of an exchange of information (other than a Facebook friend request, of course). Two years later, we reconnected and made immediate plans to catch up with a yoga class in Brooklyn. An afternoon turned into a dinner. Dinner turned into drinks. And drinks turned into desert. From that moment on, we've been inseparable. Early on in our relationship, we traveled to Italy together. It was there that we really fell more deeply in love. It was there that we looked at each other and almost simultaneously said "this would be a great place for a wedding." So, right there, in the town Katie's father was born in, where he planted the pine trees outside the 157 year old church, and where her family has lived and worked for generations, is where we're going to take this next step in our lives. Surrounded by memories and by surrounded by love. Covigliaio is a very special place and we are so excited to share it with you. We do hope you join us for this celebration. And as they say in Italy, "benvenuti al nostro matrimonio."
