Somerset, NJ

Thank You EWR!

While we both went to University of Delaware, we were only loose acquaintances until crossing paths 4 years later in the security line of Terminal B Newark Airport. Far from a romantic reunion, I was so startled to see Phil that I asked him why he was in in Newark Airport (obscenities omitted). Since then, we've been back to Newark Airport countless times, under much better circumstances.

A month after our first date, Phil came to my sister's magical wedding where he was so popular, an infamous "Phil" chant was started (likely by Meg Brophy)

FAQs

Question

Can I smoke?

Answer

Our venue is completely non-smoking due to fire risk. Please refrain from smoking, even outside, during our wedding.

Question

What type of shoes should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail hour will be outside in a tent, and there are some cool things outside you can explore, such as extremely cute cows, chickens, and sheep. Most of the night, though, we'll be in a greenhouse with a real floor. As such, tall stilettos may be difficult in the outdoor grassy areas, but regular heels should be fine. We want everyone to be out on the dance floor, so make sure you can dance in your shoes.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We are so blessed to have so many friends and family who we want to celebrate with. Unfortunately, if your invitation does not indicate a guest, we ask that you come alone so we can remain within the maximum capacity that our venue allows.

Question

What songs will the band be playing?

Answer

Literally everything. Our band rocks and they play every style of music (okay, besides the Mongolian Folk Metal Nicci has been into recently). Our last song will be After The Party by the Menzingers and we hope everyone will get up and dance to it with us!

Question

Should I take a lot of pictures and videos on my phone?

Answer

No. Get off your phones and have a good time! While we don't care about pics and videos being taken, we really want everyone to be in the moment with us.
