A long time ago in a town not so far away.... There was an Irish Festival that our 2 young lovers (it was the late 90's) were destined to meet. Let's just say that night was the kick off to an interesting story, that some may say is similar to a romcom you would see as a lifetime movie. Yes, filled with love and some drama. Throughout the beginning there were plenty of nights at social gatherings such as Saratoga bars or parties with many, many cocktails and opportunities for us to hangout together. As with some stories ours took a turn in a different direction. We followed different paths which created different lives. Chris stayed local, continued to grow his skills as a Hardscape/Stone Mason and started a family, Tina focused on her career, met amazing new people and had amazing experiences as she moved from New York to Rhode Island and California. Although if you ask, we both would admit that we had each other in our thoughts throughout that time. Little did we know things would change after a guardian angel pulled us back together. In one of the saddest times in life sometimes you need a friend who will listen. And sometimes those friends come from unexpected places. We were reconnected as friends over 15 years after we met. For those of you who may not know, both of us had the same tragedy of losing a loved one in the same year. And we both checked in on each other. This eventually lead to our friendship which blossomed into our love for each other. And Tina's eventual move back to New York. Although we have experienced some challenges along the way, it has made us stronger. One of the greatest miracles is when you find the person who allows and helps you want to be a better version of yourself. And we contest that is true for both of us. Tina has always wanted to have a family with children and Chris gave her that opportunity. Cayleigh and Tyler are amazing individuals that bring so much love and joy to our relationship. And the addition of Riley dog is like having a cherry on top of our wonderful home. Chris has been inspired to let his creativity build a beautiful home and business. With Tina supporting his dream they have created an amazing life filled with love and beauty. We believe our amazing story proves true love will win no matter what the challenge of life may bring. We are stronger with each other as well as having such amazing family and friends. We are so excited that we have the opportunity to have our family and friends, whether at our ceremony or afar, celebrate with us in our love and marriage. XOXO
