It all began when Stephen and Abby met at a lively house party in Somerville, Massachusetts. There was an instant spark, and a year and a half later they said goodbye to their Boston friends and started their next chapter as roomies in CT. They settled into Fairfield during COVID, balancing nursing school, a new WFH routine, and life side by side. After Connecticut, they found their way to their beloved Long Beach Island, where days were spent strolling on the beach, playing a friendly competition on the tennis courts, or admiring the bay sunset. Eventually, new jobs and a new city to explore brought Stephen and Abby to Philadelphia. The Queen Village neighborhood, and their close-knit Philly friend group quickly became home. What started at 24 has grown into seven years filled with adventures, new cities, new jobs, new apartments, and a few new pets along the way, but always grounded in the same love for each other.

We're so excited to invite you to celebrate us as we take our next step as a couple in marriage in the beautiful countryside of Tuscany! Our love for travel and exploring new destinations has been such a special part of our journey together, and we couldn't think of something more perfect than to say "I do" at one of our favorite places, surrounded by the people we love most. Our hope is to make this more than just a wedding day; but a chance to slow down, spend time together and have an unforgettable celebration. We completely understand that traveling internationally may not be possible for everyone, and your love and support mean the world to us no matter what. If you're able to be there, we would be thrilled to celebrate together!
