Those who are familiar with Saratoga know that true love is formed not only on Caroline Street but at Chowderfest. For those who aren’t, it’s a weekend festival in the heart of winter full of day drinking and clam chowder, clearly the staple of any land locked upstate New York town. We met through a mutual friend during said festival in 2016 at the Parting Glass Pub. Through the years, cross-country and continental travels, we found our way back together and are thrilled to be living in Hawaii. We were incredibly lucky to be stationed in Italy, the home country of Cristina’s father, for a few years where we adopted our truest love Basil! 2020 combined with Italy’s intense lockdown measures showed us that we wanted to “lock down” one another forever and get married. We can’t wait to finally celebrate with you!
