Our Story
The Relationship
It all began at church
Sean and Rebecca went to the same church for many years before getting to know each other. During the midst of COVID restrictions, Rebecca came to one of the church BBQs Sean hosted at his house and slowly but surely their relationship started to bud. Sean took Rebecca on their first date to Sato Ramen during the end of Summer in 2020. The world might have been shut down, but Sean and Rebecca persevered having dates at restaurants when they were open, or having takeout at Sean's house. Some of our fondest memories were being creative during those times, such as going to the movies during the one week they were open in Erie county or driving to another county to go out to eat at a restaurant that had no restrictions.
Engagement
The Rose Gardens at Delaware Park, Buffalo, NY
Over time, Rebecca and Sean's relationship grew and they became very close. The couple weathered many storms, including the passing of Sean's Dad. It was clear they were serious and would be on track to be married in a matter of months. Sean had secretly recruited the help of his Mom to have the family heirloom diamonds be used for the rose gold engagement ring for Rebecca. He also asked for permission from Karen and Alan (Rebecca's mom and dad), and thankfully received a yes! The couple had a trip to Dallas together and Sean had planned to propose in the beautiful city as a surprise. But Rebecca was on to him. So Sean waited until they were back in Buffalo before surprising her and having a friend hide in the bushes to take photos and capture the memory forever.
Wedding
The Westin
After scouting out numerous venues Rebecca and Sean finally came across the Westin. Sean had worked there on a year-long project for the company that occupied the 8th floor and was very familiar with the beautiful, tall and mostly glass building. The couple soon fell in love with the venue's character, delicious restaurant, beautiful courtyard, and ballroom. The hotel was the right fit for the couple to be married in style!
