Story
Our story started 8 years ago on the dating website, E-Harmony, where we had 95% compatibility. With that percentage, we knew we had to meet even though we had a 2-hour driving distance between us. Once we met, we instantly hit it off and discovered how much we have in common. For several years, we traveled back and forth, getting to know each other with long phone calls and weekend visits.
Although it was challenging with the distance between us, we continued to grow and intertwine our lives, children, family, and friends. Some of the best memories we share begin with one of our 1st get aways together to the Finger Lakes, to visiting family in Florida, to Shenandoah Valley, to our epic trip out West, and all the other in between smaller but no less memorable Labor Day weekend reunions, holidays, bonfires, day trips, and of course as you all know our favorite hobby of brewery/winery tasting and tours. So. it would only be appropriate that Will would surprisingly propose at one our favorite breweries in Boston.
And now as each other's friends and family have become our own friends and family, we cannot wait to share this most special day with all of you and continue this next incredible adventure of our lives. See you on June 24, 2023. Cheers to us!!
Spend the Night
Lakeside Resort & 3812 Bistro, New York 14, Watkins Glen, NY, USA
Come stay with us at the Lakeside Resort in Watkins Glenn!! We have blocked the entire resort which has 24 rooms/cabins available.

We will be staying through July 1st. We would love for you to stay with us for as long as you would like. To book additional nights, please CALL the resort to book your stay. The 25% discount will apply for your entire stay!
Inn at Glenora Wine Cellars, New York 14, Dundee, NY, USA
We are only able to block rooms on Saturday night at the Glenora Winery and Inn. If you are only staying on Saturday night or if the Lakeside Resort is full, you could consider staying here. Call them and tell them you are with our wedding to get one of these rooms. Any rooms that are not booked by April 15th will be released and made available to the public.
Savannah House Wine Country Inn & Cottages, Old Route 14, Himrod, NY, USA
We are not able to book rooms at the Savannah House but recommend it because we have stayed here in the past, the rooms have been recently renovated, and it is conveniently located.

We want you to be able to celebrate with us and really let loose. We will have a shuttle that will take you to and from the wedding to ensure that you can enjoy the evening without worrying about driving back to your room afterwards.
Schedule
Friday, June 23, 2023
Welcome to the Finger Lakes!
5:00 PM
Change of plans for Friday evening. Due to a big race in town, for anyone that would like to hang out with us, we have decided to skip the crowds and have a nice relaxing evening around the fire pit at the resort. We will pick up some pizza and sandwiches so bring a lawn chair and your drink of choice and we'll have a low key evening before the big day.
Of course you are still welcome to get dinner on your own as there are many great establishments nearby.

Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by March 1st so that we can have an accurate headcount. However, we recommend that you reply sooner and book a room before the masses start booking rooms (and they start booking early).
What will the weather be like?
Of course we are hoping for perfect weather. Average temperatures in late June in the Finger Lakes is usually between 75 and 80 degrees. In the evenings, in tends to get into the low to mid 60's.
Can I bring a date?
Please check your invite for your +1!
Where should I park?
If you won't be using the shuttle service, there is plenty of parking at Climbing Bines Brewery.
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Yes, and we will have a golf cart available for anyone needing assistance getting around the property!
What should I wear?
Wedding attire will be semi-formal/business casual.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, and the reception will be in a large pavilion. In the unfortunate event of a rainy day, the ceremony will also be held in the pavilion.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Calling all ladies! Do not wear stiletto heels. I repeat, do not wear stiletto heels. There are a bunch of grassy/dirt areas that you might have to walk in so wear chunky heels or sandals. Can't have any of you ruining nice shoes or breaking any ankles.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take all the photos that you want. We would appreciate if you can share them using the Joy app!
Whom should I call with questions?
Please call Kathi at 484-888-9933 or Will at 570-446-7888.
