Our Wedding

We met in a place defined by purpose, trust and precision- the hospital- where long hours, passion for medicine and shared ambition quietly brought us together. What began in that moment, evolved effortlessly into something far more meaningful.Our story continued on the shores of Magens Bay Beach, St. Thomas, where George proposed- surrounded by stillness, turquoise water, and a sense of calm that felt entirely our own.After three years of engagement, we chose intention over time. We had already found what matters most- an effortless partnership, a deep friendship, and a place that feels like home in each other.Here we are- beginning forever, together.

Tux vs. Suit: What's the Difference?

Our wedding is Formal. Please dress in elegant, tailored attire appropriate for an evening celebration: tuxedos or dark suits for men and long gowns or dressy separates for women. Think polished footwear and refined accessories. The ceremony will be in Bayonne, New Jersey and the reception will be in Jersey City, New Jersey on September 12, 2026—anticipate a late-summer evening, so lightweight formal fabrics are recommended. If you have specific accessibility or comfort needs, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
