We first met on the dorm floor freshman year at UC Davis.
After graduating, we moved to Medford, MA to continue our life together.
We got engaged on April 11th amongst the art galleries in Rockport near Motif No. 1.
Surrounded by our closest friends and family, we begin our next chapter together.

New Lebanon, New York
About 2 hours from Boston and 2½ from New York City. Nearest airport is Albany (ALB), roughly 45 minutes away. Detailed directions coming soon.
The Berkshires — Lenox, Pittsfield & Stockbridge
We recommend the Berkshires — Lenox, Pittsfield, or Stockbridge — a popular getaway with plenty of hotels, inns, and Airbnbs. Book early, as the wedding falls on Memorial Day weekend.
We've reserved room blocks at the Element and Holiday Inn Express (Lenox/Pittsfield), with a third location in the works.
On the wedding day, we'll run a shuttle to and from the venue, departing from and returning to the room-block hotels.
Yes! We will have a sitter on-site during the evening to watch and play with the children so parents are able to enjoy themselves.
Spring in the Berkshires/Hudson Valley tends to be in the low 70s with cool evenings.
Weather permitting, most of the events other than the reception and afterparty will be outside amongst the grass and gravel so comfortable shoes are recommended.
The Ruins at Sassafras is in New Lebanon, New York — about 2 hours from Boston and 2½ from New York City, with Albany (ALB) the nearest airport, roughly 45 minutes away. Shuttle buses are required to transport people to and from the venue the day of the wedding. For the welcome party, there is an accompanied parking lot across the street from the venue.
The Berkshires/Hudson Valley has a rich history with multiple antique shops, historical museums, and hiking locations. We’ll share more recommendations as the wedding draws nearer.
See the Travel section above for a few recommended lodgings.
Each event has its own dress code, listed with the event above. In short: cocktail for the ceremony and dinner, casual for the welcome party — and comfortable shoes throughout, since much of the weekend is on grass and gravel.
