Our Story

The Deck. Pub Pedal. 2022. A night made for a type of romance, perhaps, but not typically one that begins life-long commitments. However, that's when we met, and looking back on it, it's the same night we fell in love. We both were brought along to Erik and Jamie Allore's house in Glenside, but arrived to see different people. Sam was a friend of Jamie's, while Jess came along with Erik's cousin and her bestie, Natalie. The sparks really began to fly on The Deck's "dance floor" after Jess passionately informed Sam that she could "kick his ass" at golf (a fabrication since exposed). Nonetheless, Sam loved her confidence and humor, and spent most of the night showing off his dance moves, and more importantly, convincing Jess to join him at Hank's Tavern the following Wednesday. After spending the entire evening at Hanks, and after the waitress kindly asked them to leave 30 minutes after the restaurant was closed, they finished the night with a smooch in the parking lot. The rest, as they say, is history. Jess and Sam quickly introduced each other to their friends and families, who confirmed what the two already knew: that they were perfect for each other. Through moving in together, to a year that consisted of attending 11 weddings, Sam and Jess have been inseparable ever since, their love growing more and more each day. We are both so excited to have all of you there to celebrate the start of the rest of our lives together!
