Story
Not going to lie, Tony and I met online dating, and we hit it off fairly fast. Getting to know each other was one of the fun parts of the relationship as it grew into one. We dated a little before then December 2nd 2019 Tony asked Amanda to make it official. Without question I said yes and our story official began to write itself. Adventurous weekend trips, gym dates, normal dates, spontaneous trips/dinners/dates were all the normal of our beginning. We moved in together Sept 2020 and started our little family with Kona in Oct then later got Kona her own baby sister Cali in Jan, our 2 French Bull Dog children who we love just like babies.
After dating for 2 years, on 12/2/21 Tony, Lou and I were walking around Philadelphia before leaving for Miami to go on a cruise 12/4 and we went to dinner first. Enjoying the night we wanted to explore the area before heading back to the hotel before our early flight the next day, we found the LOVE sign in Philly. I had to take a picture since I had never been there before, who knew it was all part of Tony's proposal plan. As we were there, Tony's cousin Lou was taking our picture, but said he messed it up, (started recording) then Tony began to talk. I began to cry then Tony got down on his knee and asked me to be with him forever and always, and I said YES!
Not even a year later, we decided to moved to Florida ourselves, started our next chapter down here with Kona and Cali and now getting married 2 years from the engagement day and 4 years from our start date. Funny how it fell on a Saturday and worked out perfectly for us. 12/2/23 we say I Do in front of everyone we love.

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Both our amazing cruises, one with Lou right after I became a FIANCE and the one after that with my family. Traveling anywhere with Tony is the best though. It's all about the memories we make together, and the photographs taken during the trips that make up the best times together.

Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception. However, we recognize that some of you will be traveling with your kids, so we apologize for the inconvenience. We hope you have plenty of time to arrange accommodations for the little ones and we are truly sorry we couldn’t have all of them there to join us on our special day. Please reach out if you have questions!
Where should I park?
There is plenty of parking out in the field of our venue and a golf cart to shuttle people to and from their cars if needed.
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 to their vehicles!
Is there an Open Bar?
Ummm Duh? Do you know us? We like to party when we can! So yes Open Bar- Just bring Cash for Tips. 💕
What should I wear?
Nothing too formal, it’s a beautiful barn country style wedding. Don’t worry, I’m wearing cowgirl boots! So no need for fancy heels if you’re like me and hate them. Feel free to dress up as much or little as you want! I just want everyone to be comfortable- bring flip flops for dancing too!
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be in the AC beautiful barn and plenty of outdoor area too, fire pit and patio section :)
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Calling all ladies! You do not have to wear stiletto heels. I repeat, you do not have to wear stiletto heels, unless that is your style. There are a bunch of grassy areas that you might have to walk in for pictures of if anyone wants to explore the area, but other than that there is a walkway down to the ceremonial section that is all laminate flooring. I still suggest comfortable shoes because if you know me I'm not one to wear heals, but you do you :) Besides who dances in heels for a long time? Bring your change of shoes if you want to? Flipflops or crocs doesn't bother me, I just want everyone to have fun and keep their feet safe.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them on our app Joy. If you are going to share on Facebook or Instagram, please tag us in them or use the hashtag #May2Giorgi2023
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. Our photographer will be taking them, we don't want any photobombers or phones in our pictures, if you're discrete that's fine but please don't stand to take them, step to the outer side if need be.
