Our Wedding

We met online in the fall of 2019, while Danny was in business school and Emily in graduate school. Emily arrived 15 minutes late for the first date, and Danny - perhaps surprisingly - waited. At Geronimos, and over a couple of margaritas, we realized that we had a lot in common and Emily asked for another date the following night. We had met each other's families by the new year, and managed to spend some time together through the lockdown of early 2020. Following twelve months of long distance while Danny finished med school in Miami and Emily finished graduate school in Connecticut, we moved to Fort Lauderdale for Danny's intern year and Emily's first OT job. We brought Zoe home that spring, and moved to Houston that summer. Danny finally proposed on the beach in Wells, Maine on July 16, 2024. After five years, two match processes, and dozens of trips across the US, Europe, and South America, we cannot wait to return to Maine in 2026 to celebrate our wedding with you all.

Accommodations

Rooms in our block at The Nonantum have filled up faster than expected. There may be a few rooms remaining, but there are certainly other options just a walk or short drive from here. While we don't have blocks at nearby hotels, please consider accommodations at hotels such as The Colony and The Breakwater, which are both a short walk from The Nonantum. AirBnb and Vrbo also have options locally, though please consider the down time between the ceremony and the reception when making arrangements. Transportation to and from the ceremony will be provided from The Nonantum and The Colony.

Also the site of our reception and farewell breakfast, The Nonatum offers a number of different room options including suites for larger groups. Please consider booking your accommodations as early as possible (up to one year ahead) since rooms can fill up over the holiday weekend. The Nonantum recommends calling in to make your reservation, though you can also do so online. A two night minimum will apply. Amenities include: daily breakfast, bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, heated pool, and lawn games. Just a 3 minute bike ride or 15 minute walk to Dock Square! Feel free to text us if you have any questions about our room block.

The Nonantum Resort

Also the site of our welcome drinks on Friday night, The Colony is a 7 minute walk to The Nonantum and very short drive to Dock Square.
