When Bryanna and John first connected on Facebook Dating in 2020, neither expected that a simple message would lead to forever. After a four-hour FaceTime call and a first date that felt like they’d known each other for years, their story took off effortlessly. Three years later, John proposed on Christmas Eve, surrounded by both of their families, marking the start of a new chapter filled with love and laughter.

They planned their dream wedding in just ten months, and it turned out to be everything they hoped for and more. Their elegant celebration at The Saratoga Hilton was a true reflection of their joy and connection, complete with incredible food, music, and the kind of energy guests are still talking about. Every detail, from the handmade touches to the family-led ceremony officiated by Bryanna’s uncle, made the night uniquely theirs.

Lauren and CJ first met while she was working campus security at Nazareth College in Rochester, and he stopped to ask her for directions. She pointed him toward the dorm he was looking for, and they went their separate ways — for about two seconds. CJ quickly turned around to tell her he couldn’t leave without asking out “the prettiest girl he’d ever seen.” It was a moment that changed everything.

CJ serves in the Army and is stationed at Fort Drum, and although demanding schedules kept them busy, they always found a way to make their relationship a priority. After two years together, he proposed in front of a waterfall the summer before deploying — a moment of joy, surprise, and a memory they’ll hold forever.

When it came time to plan their wedding, there was no better place than Granville, where Lauren grew up. Driving through Lake George together has always felt like home, and Gables & Gardens instantly became the perfect rustic barn setting for their celebration.

Their wedding day unfolded like a fairytale, surrounded by beautiful scenery, heartfelt personal touches, and the people they love most. It was exactly what they hoped it would be.

It was their moms, lifelong friends of over thirty years, who first had the idea to introduce Schyler and Nick. One blind date in April of 2017 quickly revealed that the match was meant to be. After dinner, they weren’t ready for the night to end, so they drove around listening to music, talking, and laughing, the start of a love that fell into place with ease.

Years together brought all the milestones: their first apartment, their first home purchased in 2022, and their spirited golden retriever pup, who joined their family just one week after closing. Six years into their relationship, Nick proposed on a pier overlooking Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont, with a photographer secretly waiting to capture the moment.

When it came time to choose a venue, Vermont felt like the natural choice. Mountain Top Resort, with its breathtaking scenery and the ability for guests to stay right on-site, became the perfect destination for a full weekend celebration.

Their wedding day delivered everything they dreamed of peak foliage, crisp autumn air, and a stunning mountain backdrop for their outdoor ceremony. The reception was a high-energy dance-party finish, complete with disco balls that set the night aglow. It was a day they wish they could experience again and again.

Katie and Mark first connected online in May 2021, not realizing they were messaging from the same apartment building on the same floor, just two doors apart. That surprising twist turned into their first date, and quickly into a relationship grounded in shared hometown memories, fall traditions, and weekends exploring Glens Falls and Lake George.

After a year of dating, they moved in together (a short two-door move) and continued building a life shaped by family, friendship, and the place they love most. In August 2023, Mark proposed in City Park in downtown Glens Falls, right in front of the gazebo, a moment that perfectly reflected their story.

So when planning their wedding, staying close to their roots was the only choice that made sense. They married just down the street from their home at the historic Queensbury Hotel, surrounded by the vibrant fall colors that have always been part of their favorite season.

Ciar and Perry’s love story began in the summer of 2017 at the Taste of Country Music Festival on Hunter Mountain. What started as a fun weekend among friends quickly turned into something neither expected. Even with miles between Upstate New York and Long Island, their connection only grew stronger with every drive, every visit, and every moment they made count.

Eventually, long-distance turned into building a life together. From a move to Long Island, to returning Upstate, to buying their first home, and even welcoming a second dog into their family, each step brought them closer to the celebration they’d been dreaming of.

On a rainy, romantic October day in Lake George, surrounded by their closest friends and family, they finally said “I do” at The Carriage House. With thoughtful personal details, including subtle nods to their dogs who couldn’t attend, their wedding felt completely true to who they are.

Michael and Amanda had known of each other for years before their story officially began. Fate had its own timing—after nearly a decade of missed chances, their paths finally aligned, and the rest, as they say, is history. Fourteen years, two beautiful kids, and countless memories later, they’ve built a love rooted in friendship, laughter, and pure connection.

When it came time to plan their wedding, they wanted a celebration that felt authentically them: romantic, fun, and far from traditional. They exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at The 408 Event & Occasion in downtown Saratoga before dancing the night away at V***r Nightclub, surrounded by their loved ones. Their daughter, Lily, and son, Mo, proudly stood by as Maid of Honor and Best Man—a moment Amanda will cherish forever.

From the champagne tower to the winter wonderland vibes, every detail reflected who they are: joyful, genuine, and completely in sync.
