What started as a chance meeting on Cornell University’s chilly campus in Spring 2020 quickly grew into something neither of us expected but both of us now can’t imagine life without. We bonded over our shared love of good food, overly competitive board game nights and, most importantly, our deep commitment to friends and family. From Ithaca, to Brooklyn and now Rochester we have loved going through life together! Whether our days involve rooting for (and unfortunately crying over) the Buffalo Bills, battling it out playing squash or ping-pong (Alina usually wins), or just cooking new recipes at home with our two best bunnies (Hopscotch and Monty) we just love spending every day with each other! We’re beyond excited to celebrate the culmination of 6 years (nearly 7 when we tie the knot) of laughter, tears, growth and so much love, surrounded by all of YOU!

We are deeply grateful for the love and support you’ve shared with us over the years and can’t wait to start our next chapter with all of you in the Dominican Republic. Look forward to great food, questionable dance moves, more drinks than we’ll admit, and memories we’ll be bragging about for a lifetime! We understand the investment of a destination wedding and thank you for even considering celebrating with us. With love, Alina & Edmund
