Danielle and I met on December 19, 2012.  We were set up by two of our good friends, Vivian Walsh and Michael Scanzano, who were playing matchmaker behind the scenes.  Without Danielle knowing who I was or ever meeting, I decided to call and introduce myself.  A few days later we agreed to meet for a drink at Giumarello's in Haddonfield, NJ.  Blind dates have never worked in the past for either of us, so what would make this one different. Two hours seemed like 15 minutes but the conversation was effortless.  We both agreed to meet again for our first official date on December 23, 2012 at El Vez in Philadelphia, Pa. Our relationship grew over the next year and our love for one another got stronger.  We found love in a very different way and on November 16th, 2013 I asked her to marry me.  She said yes!  I truly cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and the most loving, caring, honest, and beautiful woman I've ever met.  We both know that a special angel certainly had her hand in making all of this come true.  

Our wedding will take place on Friday, July 11, 2014 at The Madison in Riverside, NJ. The Madison is the newest wedding venue in South Jersey. We are looking forward to having our guests celebrate with us at this elegant, contemporary venue with award winning cuisine from South Jersey's Top Chef. The reception promises to be full of energy and excitement with one of the areas most entertaining party bands "The Heartbeats". We can't wait to celebrate with all our family and friends.

Since BJ and I are both teachers, we have decided to make the most of our honeymoon and take the trip of a lifetime. Our first stop...California. We plan on spending the day in Sonoma Valley before heading to our boutique hotel at the foot of Napa Valley. A few wine tours in Napa and a day in San Francisco will be the perfect start to our honeymoon. Then it's off to Moorea in French Polynesia. Our beach bungalow is situated on a white sand beach that gently slopes into the lagoon. After five days, we island hop to Bora Bora, also located in French Polynesia. Located in the turquoise waters of the lagoon, our overwater bungalow is situated in absolute peace with an incredible view of the reef, a little island, and the open ocean beyond.

BJ and I would like to thank all of our family and friends for always being there to help and support us. You truly have done so much to make our day special. Although a big part of my heart is missing to guide me through this process, I know she is smiling down on all of it and is thankful for all of the people who have stepped in to help in her place. She will always be with us, each and every day and continue to send us wonderful blessings.

Thank you for visiting our wedding website and honeymoon registry. Additional items can be found at Macy's. We look forward to celebrating with you on July 11th!
