welcome to the journal

Andrew and Lindsey met at a Sushi Bar in Staten Island where Lindsey grew up.  She was in graduate school for speech pathology and Andrew was nearing the end of medical school. The cutest thing that Andrew did to impress Lindsey that night was he took a napkin out and drew a picture of the central nervous system! She will never forget it! 

Brit and Jon met at Manalapan High School where Brit was hired as a long term substitute for a physical education teacher.  Jon was the high school football coach.

They hit it off immediately, and they found that there days were intertwined because Brit had all of Jon’s students as her students.  She soon noticed that Jon was always popping his head into her class to “check in” on his players he would say! It soon became clear that he was actually checking on Brit! They soon started dating and after four years Jon decided to propose!

It was about 2 1/2 years ago when Jen met Steve on Match.com.  She was new to online dating and had no idea what she was doing! Match turned out not be so easy after what she had heard about it.  She winked at him somehow on the website and he messaged her right away.

Nick and Dina were both living in Hoboken, New Jersey.  The first week that Dina moved there from Stirling, New Jersey, she decided to download Tinder and thought it was time to start dating and hopefully meet someone nice!

Mike and Abby are high school sweethearts.  They met in art class, Abby was in her sophomore year and Mike was a senior. They had a mutual friend that introduced them and by the end of the year they started dating. 

Mike and Justine first met in September of 2013 online and had their first date in Montclair, New Jersey.  They decided on a movie date where they saw “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs two”.  With a title like that, we could see that they both share the same sense of humor!! 

Alyssa and Jeff first met in Ms. Sorrentino’s freshman year chemistry class. Jeff was immediately smitten, but Alyssa kept him at arm’s length for three years!  Eventually she relented, and they started dating senior year of high school.  

I first met Jeanine when she was one of my past bride’s bridesmaids.  She and her sister were in the bridal party and we hit it off right from the beginning.  She was so much fun to be with and she helped me out so much!  

Peter grew up in Virginia and Courtney is from New Jersey so when Courtney chose Virginia Tech to go to college, little did she know she would meet the man she would marry!  They just so happened to both attend  a Hurricane Sandy Relief event where they ended up going to dinner together with mutual friends and ended up sharing a cab home.  Courtney tell Peter that he had her laughing the whole ride home!

April had always dreamt about her wedding day since she was a little girl.  She thought about every detail!  What her dress would look like and what kind of pretty shoes she would wear.
