Marianella and Kevin met back in June 2013 after she returned to Philadelphia from college. She was just one internship away from graduating from her university. Kevin was a student at another university, but they had been in the same places several times with mutual friends. Then, one evening at a friend’s apartment, Kevin saw Marianella dancing alone to a bachata song, “Corazón Sin Cara,” which translates to “heart without a face”, and asked her to dance. Their summer r

Jayne and Mike (also known to many as Fitz) met while in high school after being set up by mutual friends. Although they went to different schools, she went with him as his date to his senior prom and the two dated for a time. They went their separate ways (in Florida and Pennsylvania) during their college years, but began dating again once they moved back to their hometowns… and fell in love. Jayne’s pup Charlie was included in Mike’s very thoughtful proposal! The two alw

It was fantastic to hear how Despina and Anthony met, because it wasn’t the typical introduction through friends or a dating app… it was at Despina’s mother’s bank! Her mother had been using that bank for two years and over that time, got to know Anthony a bit. One day, Despina went along with her mother to the bank and she (and everyone!) is so glad she did! Anthony couldn’t have chosen a more lovely place to propose to Despina. Indeed, he popped the question over dinner

Tori and Andy met like so many couples today, using an online dating app! They each happened to be at their parents’ homes for Rosh Hashanah when they began their relationship. Then a month later, they met in person for the first time at a Halloween party in New York City where their now-favorite DJ was playing. They danced together all night long… literally, as they didn’t t say their goodbyes until 7am! Andy proposed to Tori on his parents’ anniversary at the end of summ

Emily and Zak always wanted a spring wedding, and this ideal early-spring day could not have been more perfect for them! The weather was incredible, unseasonably warm and sunny, and their family and friends were all there to support them and celebrate with them at their wonderful wedding event! This sweet couple met through mutual friends while they were in high school. Shortly afterwards, Zak asked Emily if she would go with him to his junior prom, and she happily did. Af

Ashley and Greg met just like so many of us do today, online! Their first date was wonderful, as well as incredibly long… so long in fact, that Ashley’s family kept texting her to make sure everything was okay! It was, of course, as Ashley told them. She was just on her last first date ever. And when it came time to propose, Greg coordinated efforts with his mother in order to keep the secret from Ashley. The couple had been planning to visit his mother, but (conveniently

We were thrilled that we were available for this wedding day when Kimber’s mother, Kerry sent us an inquiry through our website! It was so wonderful to speak with the two of them as they discussed their plans with excitement, and we couldn’t have been happier that they chose The Ashford Estate for their entire day’s events! Kimber and Rob met each other as freshmen in high school and knew by the time that they moved into their first apartment five years ago that they were go
