Derek and Emily first met in 2014 through mutual friends. Although the timing wasn’t quite right then, Derek always had his eyes set on Emily. Fast forward to 2018. Timing and fate fell into place and their first “date” was on Emily’s 27th birthday with that same group of friends who introduced them years before. A few dates, many laughs, and a trip to Iceland later, the two were in love. And the rest is history. The couple got engaged on January 2, 2021 in Skaneateles and have been busy planning ever since. They also recently bought a beautiful home in Orchard Park and couldn’t be more excited to start this next chapter together. They look forward to celebrating their love for one another with you on December 18, 2021. Cheers to happily ever after!
