We both grew up in Niskayuna, New York. Despite living just a mile away from each other for most of our lives, we never met! However, we were eventually brought together thanks to modern technology, while both living in Boston. Though after a lot of texting we didn't meet right away. Eventually, Neil finally won over Carly's heart & her stomach with a chicken parm dinner at her favorite restaurant in Boston's North End on their first official date. Fast forward to Memorial Day 2018, where we first spent a weekend together on Loon Lake, where Carly's parents have a camp. The Adirondacks and Loon Lake, in particular, have become a very special place to us both, whether it be a boat day or a hitting the slopes of Gore Mountain, some of our greatest memories have taken place there. It became even more special when Neil proposed while on a "hike" on Memorial Day of 2019. Since then, we and our two cats, Winnie (pictured below) and Gus have re-located back to beautiful upstate New York and are excited to start this new chapter with the wedding we had planned all the way back in 2019. Yes, we did get legally married in August of 2020 due to COVID-19 but want to make it official, reaffirm our commitment to each other (if you can make it through COVID as a married couple you can make it through anything!), and celebrate with all of you! See you in Lake George!
