• OUR STORY •
Jevin and I were friends in high school and shared the same social circle, but we drifted apart once he went off to college.
In 2022, we met again on a dating app. Jevin immediately asked to meet and catch up and we had the most wonderful first date at an Italian restaurant. Neither of us were looking for a long-term commitment but while leaving my front door, Jevin said he could see us getting married.
We spent the next few months learning more about each other as adults and moving Jevin into his first apartment. He asked me to stay the first night and I never really left. We became official in May 2022.
We have spent the years watching horror movies, sharing a love for Halloween, reading fantasy novels and playing video/ board games with our friends.
On December 27th, 2025, Jevin asked me to marry him in the most romantic way possible. He set up a scavenger hunt across the Capital Region to all my favorite spots including the movie theater, Prince Tea House, Barnes and Nobles and the Italian restaurant we had our first date, even though it is now closed. The penultimate location was our mutual friend’s house where all my closest friends were waiting with lots of champagne, an outfit, and makeup. They got me ready to head to the Saratoga Hilton where Jevin was waiting with our families and friends. I followed a white rose petal trail to Jevin in one of the banquet rooms. He gave a beautiful speech about reconnecting and us moving on to the next chapter in our lives (we are both readers). He got down on one knee with a tiny pink book ring box with the most gorgeous ring that I had pointed out in a jewelry store…three years earlier!!
We had a beautiful wedding in Saratoga at The 408. Our ceremony and reception were held on September 10, 2026, then we spent the night on Carolina street. Our vendors were amazing! It was truly the best day for us.

• Advice to Pass Along •
Our wedding was with The 408 Event & Occasion for their new microwedding package that including Rob Spring Photography and Samantha Nass Floral & Event Design. Maria, Rob, and Sam killed it and the package included everything we needed. I cannot thank them enough for giving us the most perfect day. Their professionalism, sincerity, and dedication were truly outstanding!
Weddings can be just a fun party instead of a day of stress! We wanted a day that was beautiful without too much fuss and the microwedding package was amazing.
We recommend keeping the guest list small. If you wouldn't take that person out for a $200 dinner and pay, then why do it for your wedding?
