Casey and Jon met in 2009 when Casey moved to Hoboken with a group of high school friends. With her new living situation, Casey became friends with Jon’s best friend, Mike. Mike asked if he could bring a couple friends to Casey’s New Year’s Eve party at her parents ski house in Windham, NY. She was skeptical about having two random guys she didn’t know stay there, but she made the right decision to say yes, as she met Jon that weekend. It was the start of their love story.
Casey has been skiing in
Telluride, Colorado every year since she was 12 and once dating Jon, he
starting joining in on those trips and loved the ski town just as much as Casey
and her family. In December 2011, they
went to Telluride for their annual trip and on New Year’s Day, Jon woke Casey
up extra early to go to the mountain before it got crowded. Needless to say, Casey was not too thrilled
about the early wake-up call, but went anyway.
They got to the top of the mountain and Jon wanted to take a
picture. As Casey got the camera out,
Jon said “You know…this isn’t the only reason I dragged you out here so early
in the morning”. Casey looked at Jon to see him down on his knee holding an
open ring box. He said “I brought you
here to ask you to marry me”. She
immediately said yes and laughed and cried from her happiness and practically
fell out of her skis and tackled him in the snow. They stayed at the top of the “See Forever”
run for half an hour talking about how he asked her father for her hand, when
he bought the ring, who knew about it and so on. When they finally skied down, they found her
entire family waiting for them with champagne and a video camera to capture the
day.
Their wedding was a week
after Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, so it was a stressful time being
without power and checking to see if all their vendors would be up and running
for their big day. But when Jon and
Casey saw each other for the first time, all that stress melted away and they
knew they were about to have the absolute best day of their lives.
Since Casey and Jon have such
a passion for skiing and it has been such a prominent part of their lives, they
decided to bring the theme into their wedding from ski lift tickets for place
cards and Ski run table names. These
small touches were just enough so they could keep the whole overall event
classy and beautiful, just like this couple.
Casey and Jon, we wish you
much love and happiness with your future together. You are amazing people and we know that you
will have a lifetime of great things to come.
Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!
