The Meet Cute : Molly and I met through a mutual ( ex ) friend years ago , but we were both in long-term relationships . Years later , we found ourselves both single and started spending more one-on-one time with each other while working at the Guild . It was hard to deny our chemistry , so we took a risk and didn ’ t look back !
The Proposal : We drove down to Blount Clam Shack on the water and had a lobster roll , followed by ice cream from the Wright Scoop dairy trailer ! Afterward , we went to Colt State Park to watch the sunset . After sitting for a while , Molly went back to the car because she “ forgot something .” She came back with a backpack , pulled out her ukulele and serenaded me with The Wedding Singer original song “ Grow Old With You ” by Adam Sandler . It was absolutely beautiful , and the easiest question to answer . We finished with a bottle of Champagne !

Andy & Abby

The couple wed on Sept . 10 , 2022 , at Hillside Country Club in Rehoboth , MA Photograph by East Passage Co .
The Meet Cute : We met almost seven years ago at our first jobs at Chick-fil-A in Seekonk , MA . We started dating a year after we met .
The Proposal : He proposed at Disney World with both of our families there . He picked one of my favorite spots behind Cinderella Castle at her wishing well !
The Advice : Our best advice when it comes to planning a wedding would be to not focus on the details too much and stress over them . Our wedding day flew by in the blink of an eye after more than a year of planning . Some things didn ’ t go the way they were planned but you just have to roll with it . At the end of the day , you ’ re marrying the love of your life and that is all that matters .

Lexi & Hayley

The couple wed on Jan . 22 , 2022 , in the Madera Ballroom at the Villa at Ridder Country Club in East Bridgewater , MA Mackenzie B . Photography
The Meet Cute : Lexi was bartending at a college bar in Providence where Hayley was a regular patron . They had mutual friends who connected them and the rest was history .
The Proposal : Hayley was so nervous to give Lexi the ring when she picked it up , as she was worried she wouldn ’ t like it ! To relieve her nerves , Hayley told Lexi about the ring , and blindfolded her to see what the ring looked like on Lexi ’ s finger . Lexi was too excited and wanted to see the ring as soon as possible . They were engaged that night , from the comfort of their couch at home .
The Advice : Block out the noise ! Make sure that you ’ re having your wedding based on your wants , needs and budget , not based on what you think everyone else would want . Save a fair amount of money in advance to avoid payment shock !
