The Day After

Our Wedding

We've always had an unconventional story ... and we wouldn’t have it any other way. In true us fashion, we skipped the “normal” timeline and built our relationship on trust, friendship, and many MANY laughs.

In April 2022, Gabi moved into an apartment in Rutherford, NJ. Peter moved in shortly after thanks to our dear neighbor who "accidentally" walked into her apartment... (She certainly wasn't going to live there alone after that incident.)

Peter quickly learned that Gabi takes Halloween VERY seriously ...

With our families’ (cautious) support, and after knowing each other for just eight months, we decided to buy a home in January 2023.

Through the years, we made meaningful memories together. We integrated our families &amp; friends. Traveled to new places. Experienced promotions &amp; new jobs. We played Dungeons &amp; Dragons. Cooked steaks on our beloved grill. Vacuumed at least 300 pounds of Nemo's seeds off the floor. Went to Medieval Times (twice). Grew (too many) tomatoes in our backyard. Welcomed children of our most cherished friends and family. We did our taxes. We swapped family recipes and attended numerous Sunday dinners. Ate too many "Sinfuls", slices of raspberry chocolate cake, and cannolis. Celebrated (many of your) weddings. Put together a dozen different pieces of furniture. We were featured guests of "The Line Cook." Ate steamers in Newport. Devoured Weinerschnitzel in Vienna. Caught clams with our toes in Lavallette. Washed our woes away with ice cream from Charlie's, Rita's, Jack's Superfood Town, Hometown Creamery... (you get the point). Defeated multiple video game bosses. Feasted on the 7 fishes. Collected Christmas ornaments and hung up icicle lights. Spent late nights laughing on Discord. Became "Grifball" champions. Battled with wasps in our backyard. We practiced our dance moves in our kitchen. Rewatched "The Lord of the Rings" (extended cut only). Celebrated first-place prizes at county fairs. Consumed expertly crafted cocktails created by self-taught mixologists. Contributed to countless planned and impromptu Pot Lucks. We embarked on late night trips to Wawa for medicinal items like Gatorade &amp; ginger ale. We reflected on (and laughed about) life with our closest friends and family around fire pits and dinner tables. Our point is ... in a short amount of time, we've packed in a whole lot of living together. We're excited to keep experiencing all the simple and meaningful moments life has to offer ... together.
