Haley and Vincent's story began at a wedding in 2019, where a chance meeting turned into something unforgettable. They couldn't have foreseen how a sitting on a couch the morning after the wedding and a simple introduction would have led them to getting married as well.

The first few months together were filled with warm sunny days and long summer nights full of love and laughter - lake trips, fishing on quiet mornings, late nights on the cliffs in Rye, and many a margarita dates, and yes even dating through COVID.

It wasn't always sunshine and rainbows, but the couple supported each other through it all, even from afar. In 2021 Vincent began his career as a helicopter pilot, moving from New Hampshire to Florida, to Alaska, to NYC and while he was gone, Haley went back to school to obtain a master's degree in finance. Even though a brief break in the relationship happened, the couple remained in touch and devoted to finding each other again someday.

In June of 2023, the inevitable reconnect happened when Vincent came home to New Hampshire and began a rotor transition into airplanes. One of the most unforgettable experiences the couple had was a summer spent renting a 1957 Cessna 172 and flying it from Destin, Florida to Laconia NH and all over the eastern coast. The couple visited OBX, Niagra Falls, and eventually when Vincent built enough time up returning it to its owner but not before making a quick trip to the Bahamas.

Together, the couple enjoys spending time with their families who live all over New Hampshire, so no weekend is spent without a little adventure. They have built a little family of their own with their two cats Chikin and Turkey, who bring so much love and tons of zoomies to their home. Chikin, 7, is the lovable, not so cuddly except during bedtime, cat who really kept the couple connected through distance. He loves to look out the window and anxiously awaits breakfast and dinner time. Turkey, is a spitfire who can't get enough of her mouse and feather toys, who has knives for claws, but will always cuddle up during a movie.

Finally, in January 2025, in Vieques PR, a vacation that was meant to be filled with sunsets and sunrises, snorkeling, sunburns, and a whole lot of Medalla's turned into the best chapter of their journey. Vincent surprised Haley with a proposal on the last day of their vacation and they couldn't wait to come home and tell everyone.

As the couple looks forward to celebrating their wedding day, they're so grateful to have the love and support of their family and friends who have been a part of the story from the very start.
