Connor and Veronica first met in 2019 at Utica University while studying Construction Management. What started with a Chevy vs. Ford joke quickly turned into an easy friendship built on shared interests, constant joking around, and always being up for a few beers around a fire. Being together came naturally, and just three months into dating, they signed a 12 month lease on their first place together. Some thought they were crazy, but to them, it simply felt right. From the beginning, they knew they worked best side by side. Over the years, they built a life filled with love, laughter, late nights, big plans, and everyday moments that meant the most. On December 21, 2023, they took another big step together and bought their first home in Litchfield, New York. It wasn’t perfect, but they saw everything it could become and were excited to make it their own. Just a few weeks later, on January 12, 2024, Connor met Veronica at the bottom of the stairs in their new home and asked her to marry him. It was quiet and personal with just the two of them and their pups in the home they had already begun building together. Connor had worked with Mark at Hayden Jewelers to design a one-of-a-kind ring using CAD and 3D printing technology, making the moment even more meaningful. Now, after years of growing together and building a life they love, Connor and Veronica can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter on September 26, 2026, surrounded by their closest friends and family in one of their favorite places — Inlet, New York.
