Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Jenna and Brandon first met in December of 2016, at a college holiday party at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. What began as a spark that night soon turned into shared Thursday nights at Sláinte and run-ins at weekend parties, completely unaware they were casually spending time with their future forever.With Brandon spending the summer more than 2,000 miles away in Arizona, nothing felt fully set in motion just yet. But when the next school year rolled around and they were back on campus, something shifted. What had once been an easy friendship slowly grew into something deeper. From there, life became a little louder, fuller, and a lot more fun.They became best friends in every sense of the word. In 2020, Jenna joined Brandon in Arizona, and together they created a life full of adventure, travel, and their perfect son, Frank.Then, in the summer of 2024, Brandon surprised Jenna during a sunset boat cruise along the coast of Sorrento, Italy. As the boat drifted across the water, he asked the question that had been years in the making, and Jenna said yes!From that first spark to this moment, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with you!
