Our winding road
First dates in Burlington, VT
Wintertime hot toddies brought us together for our first dates in Burlington. And while the timing wasn't on our side, a beautiful seed was planted.
Kept in touch during the pandemic
Sarah got her master’s degree in Syracuse, Matt bought new a house Massachusetts, and the world changed drastically. The texts and Skype calls we shared were bright spots.
Reconnected in the Poconos
We took a weekend trip the mountains turned into something neither of us expected — the start of everything.
Got engaged in Hudson, NY
What Sarah thought was just an ‘off-site work trip’ to Hudson to meet Matt’s coworkers turned into the sweetest surprise: Matt proposed at the Maker Hotel, and Sarah said yes!
Sarah moved to Massachusetts
After months of long‑weekend visits and countless 6-hour drives, we were ready to close the distance. Sarah moved in with Matt, making ‘his’ home theirs.

The finer details
If the weather is kind to us, we’ll say our vows outside and then head indoors to celebrate. We’d love for you to wear formal or cocktail attire.
While street parking is available throughtout Lancaster, we’d recommend parking in the East King Parking Garage, located across the street from Excelsior.
The night doesn't have to end at Excelsior. We'll be making our way to a bar in downtown Lancaster around 10 PM — stay tuned for more information about where we're headed next.
The fun starts the night before. We'll be gathering at Decades in downtown Lancaster on the evening of August 27th — a casual kickoff for out-of-towners and anyone who wants to get the party started early. Come say hi, grab a drink, and meet the crew. Looking for more to do while you're in town? We've put together recommendations for places to eat, drink, and explore in the Travel & Stay section.
We adore your little ones—truly. But for this one night, we're keeping the celebration adults-only. We really appreciate the extra effort required here, and we promise it’ll be worth it.
