Julia and Nick

Bellavista Country Estate Old Chatham, New York

I don't even know where to begin with Julia and Nick. I first met them when I did their elopement in Manhattan where I myself married my best friend. From the second I saw Julia standing outside the courthouse rocking an awesome outfit with Nick by her side, I knew we were going to have a blast. We had SO MUCH fun that afternoon on the Brooklyn Bridge and walking the streets of NYC, ending their nuptials with a game of fooseball in front of their favorite Italian restaurant. I also loved Julia and her friend's equal obsession with pop culture, our mutual love of Sex in the City and the fact Julia was OBSESSED with Jersey Shore (I was born in New Jersey and my favorite band EVER - Bleachers- are from there), and she always wanted to become a Guido. Well, needless to say Nick and Julia Guido are THE BEST of humans, immediate lifelong friends, and their huge celebration party at Bellavista was off the chain fun! From a friggen Rolls-Royce, Yankees inspired everything, a little smokey smoke (the good stuff and the food stuff), a cow named Bridget, a pool, dolla dolla bills, a ukulele, smoked Oreos, pop art, a GIANT cannoli and so many laughs...I just can't describe the love we have for them.

I'll be forever grateful for these human being in my life, and I cannot wait to visit them in their new location down South.

We LOVE you so much, Julia and Nick!

All our love,
