About me

Eight years! Wish I started them sooner!!

Making it completely yours. Following family traditions is wonderful but if it doesn't fit your lifestyle don't do it. Put all the qualities you love into your ceremony. Walk down the aisle with your dog, let your grandmother be the flower girl, get tattoos at the reception, do whatever brings you happiness! This is going to be the most memorable day of your life... build it with what you love!

Don't think too much about the words that need to be said. Close your eyes, get centered with your feelings and pour your heart out. The love of your life deserves to hear your honesty. Also, write your vows down on paper. Please don't think you will remember them, because you won't. Don't write them on a phone either. Phone batteries can die, or a glare will prevent good vision. Paper is the best way to go.

Best man pre-gamed a little too hard and vomited in the middle of the ceremony. You don’t see that every day! (Thankfully)

A grocery store! Rastelli Market Fresh. Two employees wanted to make it official in the same place they met! 

I married a sweet couple both in their eighties. They found each other late in life and didn’t want to waste a minute of it. Throughout the whole ceremony they laughed and looked at each other like teenagers. Making their prouncement brought tears to my eyes. It was absolutely beautiful.

Love spending my time with family and friends who are considered to be family! Visiting new places and stepping out into nature. Love reading and the relaxing ease of wineries. Very thankful New Jersey has a ton of them!

“Whatever you own, it owns you.” A gentle reminder to keep my pace and not to take on more than I can handle. Keeps one moving forward comfortably.

Italian food, especially gnocchi! One of my favorite places to eat describes them as “little pillows of love.” Sooo completely accurate! Of course you can't forget desert. I could eat my weight in ice cream and chocolate. Gotta have something sweet after all that deliciousness!

Love yoga, I’ve practiced for years! I highly recommend getting some mat time to reset. It's so good for your mind and body.

I am blessed with two awesome kids! Both are professional artists. My daughter owns a portrait photography studio. My son is an animator within the movie and video game industry. Each have been acknowledged with many awards, I couldn’t be prouder of them!

I was widowed suddenly at 48, my late husband passed after twenty-seven years together. Experiencing something as tragic as this has taught me many lessons. I find that widows and widowers have a deep appreciation for life as we know how quickly it can be taken away. Embrace every day. Say "I love you." Enjoy the little moments. Love your life.

I'm very fortunate to have found love in the second half of my life. Andrew and I have been together for six beautiful years. He brings a son and daughter as well to our blended family. We are truly grateful of the relationship we have with our kids, their loved ones and our grandchild. Thankful that we can experience all the joys life has to offer together. Family is everything.

Well, that's enough about me!
