We've been engaged since July 7, 2012, but have been living in sin since October 2011 (a natural transition after realizing how great it was to be cooped up together after Hurricane Irene). We've endured shower curtain disagreements, philosophical differences in opinion about the color purple, compromise on bed times, debates about animal print accessories, a misunderstanding (that ultimately led to a mutual understanding) of the need for polka dotted high-heel spoon rests, and other common household quandaries.

However, every debate we have about how purple leopard print needs to find a permanent place in our bedroom, and every 1-on-1 basketball game that Team Greco lets Team Gerena win, brings us closer to one another, and happier than ever that we've found each other and our crazy quirks.

When we booked our wedding, The Larkfield was just a big dirt lot and a computer-generated drawing. Justin, AKA Groomzilla, found something wrong with every other venue we looked at, and shocked the world by agreeing to book a venue we couldn't even step foot in (and therefore find fault in). Maybe it was the look of despair in Christine's eyes or maybe Groomzilla bumped his head on the ski trip we just returned from...but we finally made our decision, and glad we did.
