Our Family and Friends :
We are so lucky to be surrounded and supported by our families.
Rob’s Family
Rob’s Family likes to stay very close. His entire family lives on Long Island in New York. Rob’s childhood home was built by his grandparents after they got married and has been in his family ever since. This home is where Rob’s parents “Nonna and Papa in-training” live, which is 15 houses down the block. They are beyond excited to become grandparents. His aunt/godmother also lives down the block. Rob’s younger brother and his fiance live 3 blocks away. His Aunt and cousins live one town over. Family is truly the greatest gift. We value spending time with each other, having dinners together as a family often, and being there to help each other as a constant.
Larry’s Family
Larry’s Family also lives in New York. While his immediate family lives over an hour away, it does not interrupt the closeness they have. His parents are excited to have more grandchildren to love. Larry’s older brother and sister-in-law have a son and a daughter (future cousins and best friends) and Larry’s younger sister and brother-in-law have a daughter (future cousin and best friend). Rob and Larry make it a point to visit them one weekend of the month to go with the dogs for a sleepover at his parents to spend time with the full family. We also go to a lake house every summer to have family fun in the sun. In addition, Larry’s aunts, uncles, and a full dozen of cousins all live locally, so our future family will truly be surrounded by love, family, and built-in friendship.

Our Friends:
When friends become chosen family
Our best friends are our chosen family. They were there before we met each other, our bridal party at our wedding along with our siblings, and will be known as uncles and aunts to our children. They have supported us with love, advice, and presence throughout the years. They are excited to give their children “cousin-friends” as our “Bestie Crew” grows.
