~please come celebrate with us~

We met through “boater friends” in 2009. We began dating in August 2014 after crossing paths again in July at Between the Bridges in Old Saybrook (same boater friends & new ones). Our first date was to Block Island. In November 2014 – while in Key West to celebrate Joe’s 51st birthday and enjoy the powerboat races – we got engaged. In December 2014, we purchased Sea Shanti and made it our new family summer home. July 4, 2015 was when we took our 1st family trip to Block on Sea Shanti. We especially enjoyed Old Harbor & the pond sunsets near Sullivan House, and everything else that makes Block, Block. July 4, 2016 was celebrated at Sullivan House. Our kids talked us into visiting a few times that year and in 2017. Shanti was most often found tied up at Ballard's and the kids at Chapel Sweets. We decided we were ready to make it official in June 2018 & agreed that we would wed on Block Island the weekend of September 14 with as many friends & family as possible.
