Eighteen years ago today, we started on a remarkable journey, hosting our first wedding on our beautiful property, which we eventually lovingly named "The Roma Farm".
Over six years, we poured our hearts and souls into renovating our late 1700s farmhouse and 1800s barn, bringing new life back into both while keeping all the original structure and look of the old. It was a testament to the power of love and perseverance. We were blessed to have many friends, neighbors, and family members who helped us along the way. For those who knew us during those formative years, you witnessed the incredible transformation firsthand.
After six years of tireless effort, three of which were spent living in a travel trailer in the backyard, we finally exchanged our vows in our beautifully restored barn on a picturesque August day, 8/11/07. Eighteen years later, we look back on all the unforgettable celebrations we've hosted on this property since, from birthday parties to wedding renewals, anniversary parties, baby showers, Halloween parties, graduation parties, and weddings. Every year, we continue to enhance our property and our second property next door, which we acquired a few years ago. While much has changed over the past 18 years, one constant remains: our unwavering commitment to each other, our love for our family, and our passion for sharing our little slice of heaven with others. As we celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary, we're busily preparing to host our nephew's wedding next weekend, a truly surreal experience. We're humbled and grateful to play a part in creating his magical day with his future bride. I've stocked up on tissues, knowing I'll need them.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us on our life's journey over the past 24 years! Here's a glimpse into our special day 18 years ago. While some of these pictures may be familiar, they're definitely worth another look! 🎉❤️
