Lori and Vincent, whose love story began when they met on a dating app, were married March 22, 2024, in a wedding themed after a favorite game, “Persona 5.”

Lori dazzled in a strapless ballgown with a lace bodice and a tiered ruffled skirt. Her accessories included a hip-length veil, a crystal necklace and earrings and a jeweled headband. Her cascade-style bouquet was composed of white roses and peonies with other accent flowers and greenery. Her five bridesmaids wore individual red dresses. They carried modified versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Vincent wore a black suit with a white shirt, black bow tie and mini bouquet boutonniere. His five groomsmen wore black suits with red shirts, red and black plaid ties and mini bouquet boutonnieres.

In the outdoor ceremony, the officiant spoke about how the couple immediately wanted to start spending more time together after the first date. The bride and groom exchanged books filled with special messages to each other.
Next, guests sat down to a meal of classic Caesar salad; potatoes au gratin; seasonal fresh steamed vegetables; filet mignon with Burgundy bordelaise and mushroom duxelle sauce; and caprese chicken with fresh buffalo mozzarella and a balsamic glaze.

The signature cocktails were The Empress (bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup and luxardo cherry) and The Fool (vodka, Kahlua and heavy cream).
Vincent’s father toasted the couple, spoke about their relationship and the things they enjoy together, and wished them a happy marriage.
Vincent and Lori’s first dance as man and wife was to “Island in the Sun” by Weezer. Lori and her father-in-law danced to “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder. Vincent and his mother danced to “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts.

The three-tier wedding cake had a bottom tier decorated with black stars on white, a middle tier with a white-on-white flower design and a top layer that looked like a top hat.
Congratulations to this wonderful couple!
