How We Met

First comes love, than comes a pup, now marriage

Our romance began exactly where all legendary love stories start: at a baby shower. Xavier made the modern-day first move by adding Valery on Facebook that night, Valery hit him with a quick "hey :) ," and we never looked back. By our first date, we bonded over a massive shared love for music and realized pretty quickly that this was the real deal. Xavier finally asked to make things official on May 5th, 2021. Since then? No breakups, no "taking a break," no nothing else, just working through things together and loving each other more and more every single day. Over the years, we’ve made a home in Hoboken, Jersey City, and now Elmwood Park. More importantly, we built our perfect little family around the true center of our universe: our dog, Malcolm (aka Mac, Mac and Cheese, the list can go on forever...). He is quite literally our sun, moon, and stars, and we are pretty sure he thinks this wedding is actually for him. We are so incredibly excited to tie the knot in our favorite city and celebrate this next chapter with all of our favorite people (and Mac's)!
