Story

Monique and John both grew up in Queens, attended the same concerts, and watched all of the same movies and TV shows.

Despite probably crossing paths more times than either of them knew, they finally met in a very unsavory place: the internet.

Watching so much TV growing up, it set them up with a skill set which would enable them to best traverse this amazing journey of a relationship. The “Will They/Won’t They” of Sam & Diane, Mulder & Scully, Dwayne & Whitley, and too many others to count, created a blueprint for a love that was meant to be.

As John and Monique journeyed through life, they realized the best partner on that path was always going to be the other.

They do their best to celebrate each other every day, to celebrate their love every day...however, they decided to set aside one special day to celebrate - and they are making a very a big to-do about it.

Tidbits

What was your most memorable date?

A cloudy Saturday afternoon in Bushwick led to one of our most memorable dates - Vans and the restaurant Roberta's threw a block party! We spent the day walking through North Brooklyn eating delicious food, taking silly photos, and exploring.

What's your favorite activity together?

We love to eat, travel, and go to way too many concerts.

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

We've got a couple of places in mind - any suggestions?

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

Even though we've been to many places, our first vacation together in Montreal will always be the most special. One of our favorite pictures from that trip is on the home page of this site!

What's the best meal you have eaten together?

We got engaged up at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, where we proceeded to have one of the most thoughtful, tasty, and beautiful meals ever.
