We Tied the Knot - Now it’s Time to Party!

Pat and Ilana went to high school together, but neither of them can remember if they every met there. But they were never the less "Facebook friends". After coming home from college both of them ended up moving to Conshohocken, PA.  Pat moved to Conshohocken right after college while Ilana moved a little over three years later. This was when they began running into each other at different locations.  First, inside the local Whole Foods on a lunch break, and then again a few days later outside the yoga studio where Pat was living at the time. Then, the following day Ilana received a Facebook notification that she had been friends with Pat Gainey for 7 years that day. New to the area, Ilana felt this was too much of a coincidence and jumped on the opportunity to reach out. Through the power of Facebook messenger they connected and Pat quickly invited Ilana over for a party the upcoming weekend.  During that first night they met they discovered that they both loved to dance and had such a great time before the night was over Pat asked Ilana out on their first date the very next week. After their first date they continued to spend more and more time together and a few weeks later made their relationship official. Two years later on their dream trip to Banff, Canada after hiking up to Lake Peyto which was amazing,  Pat got down on one knee and proposed.  After coming home from Canada they were so excited to start planning their dream wedding. As time draw near and the threat of COVID increased the couple decided to post-pone the big dream wedding but could not wait to tie the knot. They decided to turn their rehearsal dinner into their wedding day, which happened to also be the same wedding anniversary as Sharon and Howard Cooper, Ilana's parents. It felt like a sign. The couple is now so excited to renew their vowels this June in front of all their family and friends and dance the night away!
