Andrea & Max put it best: “We are big little kids and are ready to showcase our decade long love the way we know best, with magic, classiness, sassyness and a smidge of silliness.”
These silly, sarcastic, high school sweethearts met when they were 15 years old! Max came to watch Andrea’s field hockey game, and like the suave teenage boy he was, asked her out over text message. Their first date was at the movies – to which yes, their parents drove them They dated throughout high school, went to Holy Cross together, did a year of long distance when Andrea studied abroad in Ireland and London, and moved to Boston after graduation. They lived with roommates at first, but after a year of having to commute back and forth from each other’s apartments, it was time to get their own place. Max proposed to Andrea on the Esplanade a few days before their 10 year anniversary – and her sister was hiding under the bride taking pictures!
Max has a huge crush on Tom Brady, is a serious home cook, and can eat an entire bag of Pirate’s Booty when no one’s watching. Andrea would put guacamole on anything, is obsessed with Hello Kitty, and loves being outdoors. Together, they share a weird obsession with Guy Fieri, enjoy being running buddies, doing puzzles, sending each other memes, and poking fun at each other.
Their wedding day at Castle Hill at Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA was simply perfect – sunny with a beautiful ocean breeze coming from Crane Beach. Andrea had not one but THREE first looks – with her bridesmaids who hadn’t seen the dress, her dad, and Max! Mom saved the day by sewing one of her buttons back on, and gave Andrea a lucky penny to put under her shoe. Max was stoked about his custom suit with their wedding date embroidered inside. Their first look was in the Italian Garden, followed by wedding party photos down on the Grand Allee with sweeping views of the estate. They unknowingly chose the same quote from their dear Leslie Knope for their vows – “I like you and I love you.” They sealed the deal with lots of laughs and a kiss (finally!!!!) and joined their friends and family for cocktail hour on the lawn. Peep their champagne wall escort glasses, Hello Kitty + Tom Brady cake toppers, and everything bagel seasoning favors – and we can’t forget Dre’s swagtastic jean jacket that said “Wife of the Party”
