FAQs

  • The reason we're having a wedding, instead of just eloping, is not only to celebrate our love, but also to bring together and join our families and loved ones, who will be traveling from all over the globe, for the first time.

    This may be the only time every person in this world that we love will all be in the same room- Victoria's family from Ireland & Staten Island, Ian's family from York, PA, all of our friends from Philly, and everyone else traveling from near and far. While yes, this day is technically about us and celebrating our wedding, in an even bigger way, this day is about uniting all of the most important people to us. And doing that, being with all of you at the same time, something we will probably never be able to recreate, is priceless.

    We are who we are, in part, because of all of you. Each of you have impacted our lives and have joined us along the paths that eventually led to each other. It's only right that we celebrate our amazingly beautiful love story with all of you by our sides. Our foundations.

    There's a reason "loveyou" is the password to this website.

    We love you.♡
