Mr. & Mrs.

Our story began in a quaint bookstore where we met for our first date, followed by coffee, and a night that neither of us wanted to end. As we continued to date, Alex showed the truest act of love and selflessness, sitting in Miami traffic on the Palmetto to come and visit Ilana (for those of you who don’t know Miami is 70 miles from West Palm). As months went by in our “Long Distance Relationship”, we sent each other letters the old-fashioned way, anxiously awaiting the mail carrier each month. Our love story continued through family events, game nights with friends, tattoos, and endless laughter. Alex learned how competitive Ilana gets when playing board games, and Ilana learned not to ever challenge Alex in Mario Kart (an inevitable loss she would have to learn to get over). Every anniversary Alex gifted Ilana a poetry book to continue the memory of where it first started. Fast forward, three years and Alex proposed in the very same bookstore where their story began. Now we are months away from beginning our next chapter as Mr. and Mrs. Pepino. We cannot wait to see all of our friends and family to help us add to our never-ending love story.
