Our Wedding

Their story began three years ago at a bar in Hoboken during the Eagles vs. Giants playoff game. Vin spotted Alex in her glowing blue jacket and thought, “I need to talk to her.” He worked up the courage, asked for her number, and by Tuesday, they were on their first date. Not long after, on a trip to Newport with The Goldens (we hope they see this), Vin asked Alex to be his girlfriend right in the middle of dinner, and before long, they were inseparable. Fast forward to today: they live in sunny West Palm Beach with their pup Rome. Next stop? Saying I do in Tuscany!
