We first met in 2014 while living on different floors of Goodyear Hall at the University at Buffalo. What began as casual conversations in the dorm quickly grew into something neither of us expected. On March 26, 2015, during our freshman year, we officially started dating and from that day on, we’ve been choosing each other. After graduation, Nicole moved to Michael’s hometown of Duanesburg, NY in February 2020, beginning a new chapter together and building a life side by side. After nearly 11 years of laughter, growing up and figuring out life toegther, Michael proposed on December 23, 2025 the perfect start to forever. 💍

We’ll be saying “I do” on the second floor of a historic chapel! Please arrive by 3:00 PM so you have time to park and get settled before the ceremony starts. Parking is limited, so if you can ride together, we’d love that.

Summer Cocktail Attire: Lightweight, breathable fabrics are encouraged (it is July!) .The reception will be outdoors on grass wedges, block heels, dressy flats, or boots are recommended.
The Plan for the Day 🎆 After we say “I do,” we’ll head to the backyard to celebrate Fourth of July style — great BBQ, a grazing table, lawn games, an open bar, and dancing under the tent with our DJ. Reception Details: * Backyard setting * Tent provided for shade and comfort * It may be warm during the day and cooler in the evening, bringing a light layer is a good idea * Bug spray will be available Food & Drinks: Come hungry and ready to party. * Full BBQ spread * Grazing table for snacking * Open bar (please plan for safe transportation) * Non-alcoholic options available The Vibe: This will feel more like an elevated summer backyard celebration than a formal ballroom wedding. Relax, grab a drink, play a game, hit the dance floor, and celebrate with us. We can’t wait to spend the Fourth with you ❤️🤍💙
