Once upon a time, in the bustling halls of Middletown High School, a mutual friend brought two hearts together at a lunch table. Little did we know that this seemingly ordinary encounter would blossom into a love story that would span the years. Mark and Abbey found themselves seated side by side at that lunch table. It was an unassuming moment, but sometimes it's those quiet, everyday connections that carry the most magic. Mark's friendly smile and Abbey's infectious laughter set the stage for something beautiful. As high school unfolded, Mark became Abbey's biggest cheerleader. He surprised her by showing up to her basketball games, but it was more than just showing up, it was the feeling of having someone believe in you with their whole heart. That's when the sparks of their high school romance ignited. From that point on, they were inseparable. They shared laughter, dreams, and built a foundation of love that grew stronger with each passing day. High school turned into the next chapter of their journey - college. Side by side, they embarked on their academic pursuits, supporting each other through late-night study sessions, encouraging words before presentations, and celebrating each achievement with the same unwavering love that had brought them together in the first place. Their love story is a story of two souls who found each other early in life and have continued to grow and thrive together. From the lunch table where it all began, to cheering each other on through the highs and lows, Mark and Abbey's love has blossomed into a journey of shared dreams, and mutual support that will last a lifetime. Now, as they stand on the threshold of a new adventure - marriage - they carry with them the beautiful memories of their past, the joy of the present, and the promise of a future filled with love, laughter, and countless more shared lunch tables.

When Abbey and Mark think about their absolute dream wedding, one of Earth's most beautiful locations is the first place that comes to mind. Santorini is home to some of the world's most stunning architecture and magnificent views, the absolute perfect location for a dream wedding. For our wedding in Santorini, we will be having an intimate ceremony. This is why we are going to celebrate locally at Arrigoni Winery and Cider Co. in Portland, CT on July 13th from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Our local celebration will allow friends and family an opportunity to celebrate our happily ever after.
