Our Wedding
Message From Couple
We’re so thrilled to have you join us as we celebrate our love on April 11, 2025, at The Royalton Bavaro, Punta Cana, DR! We know this is a major commitment for everyone attending and want to ensure that your trip is enjoyable and relaxing. Please visit the Information section which will be updated with FAQs and additional information over the coming weeks.
For our destination wedding, we've chosen not to have a traditional registry, as celebrating with you is truly the best gift we could ask for. However, if you still wish to give, we would be grateful for donations to one of the two causes listed below that are close to our hearts.
About Us
Our story began in Alexandria, Virginia— two skeptical yet hopeful singles strolling through Old Town with ice cream cones, unaware that this first date would lead us here! Ever since that first date, we have been inseparable. We’ve had an exciting and eventful courtship, including being introduced to friends and family, many golf outings, fly fishing, pickleball, surfing in Costa Rica, trips to Portugal, Germany, Florida and Nebraska, home-cooked meals by Rick, lots of home projects, and endless inside jokes.
Exactly one year later, Rick took Abby to the same Old Town park bench where they shared stories and laughter on their first date and asked her to spend forever together. We couldn’t be more excited to begin this next big adventure, and are looking forward to celebrating with you in tropical paradise!
