Our winding road

2018

First dates in Burlington, VT

Wintertime hot toddies brought us together for our first dates in Burlington. And while timing wasn't on our side just yet, a beautiful seed was planted.

2020

Kept in touch during the pandemic

Sarah got her master’s degree in Syracuse, Matt bought new a house Massachusetts, and the world changed drastically. The texts and Skype calls we shared were bright spots.

2024

Reconnected in the Poconos

We took a weekend trip the mountains to reconnect after Sarah returned home from Madrid. Our time turned into something neither of us expected—the start of everything.

2025

Got engaged in Hudson, NY

What Sarah thought was just an ‘off-site work trip’ to Hudson to meet Matt’s coworkers turned into the sweetest surprise: Matt proposed at the Maker Hotel, and Sarah said yes!

2025

Sarah moved to Massachusetts

After months of long‑weekend visits and countless 6-hour drives, we were ready to close the distance. Sarah moved in with Matt, making ‘his’ home theirs.

2026

Our big day in Lancaster

Lancaster became a big part of our story, so it’s only fitting to have friends, family, and everyone we love gathered in one place to celebrate with us. We can't wait!

Our Celebration

We’re getting married at Excelsior in Lancaster, PA. It’s the perfect blend of old and new, and we can’t wait to kick off our new life together with great food, dancing, and your company.

The finer details

If the weather is kind to us, we’ll say our vows outdoors in the Garden Courtyard, and then head indoors to celebrate. We’d love for you to wear semi-formal or cocktail attire—dressy, but shy of a tux or gown.

Excelsior is located at 125 E King Street, one of the main roads in the city. While street parking is available throughout Lancaster, we’d recommend parking in the East King Parking Garage, located right across the street.

While our reception wraps up at 10pm, the night doesn't have to end at Excelsior. There are plenty of bars within walking distance, and we’ll plan on visiting some for after party drinks.

We love your little ones, but our wedding ceremony and reception will be adults only. Thank you for understanding and for making arrangements ahead of time — we really appreciate it, and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Sarah’s stepmother and father, Andrea and Leo Petrokonis, are graciously hosting a day-after brunch at their Airbnb next to Excelsior. Please join us for bagels and refreshments, and say hi to Sarah & Matt before leaving town.

Travel & Stay

Lancaster County is especially meaningful to us because it’s home to Sarah’s family. She grew up just south of Lancaster City, and we think it’s a great place to spend a long weekend.

Let us know if you can make it

We’d love to know if you can make it, and we’re so grateful for your consideration. Please RSVP and make your meal selections by June 15, 2026 so we can plan accordingly.

Registry

Your presence is by far the greatest gift, but if you’d like to contribute further, we're registered at the link below.

Our honeymoon

We’re heading to Cap Cana, Dominican Republic in September, and can’t wait to unwind after all the wedding excitement. If you’d like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, you can do so on our registry!

In the kitchen

We love hosting and cooking together, and we can’t wait to create more memories in the heart of our home.

Around the house

We're building a home together and we appreciate anything that helps us settle in.
