Elissa moved to Connecticut from Florida in January, 2014. We met on Match.com in March. After lots of messaging back and forth, we had our first date. We were inseparable ever since!
We had plans to get our Christmas Tree on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We went to our favorite farm, Oakridge Christmas Tree Farm, with both of our mothers to find the best one! Steve went ahead (as he always does) to check out a tree we spotted. Steve told Elissa that this tree "came with an ornament" and Elissa walked around the tree to find a heart shaped ornament with a hand written message, "marry me??" Steve got down on one knee and asked the love of his life to marry him. She said "yes!"
We made the very tough but AMAZING decision to get married in a very intimate ceremony in East Haddam, CT. We could not wait to be husband and wife! We deeply missed all of our family and friends but everyone's health and safety was a priority. We deeply enjoyed the intimacy, and easiness of it! I We couldn't have asked for a more perfect fall day on the lake. We appreciate all of the love and support. We can't wait to celebrate!
