Estamos muy contentos de que visites nuestro website de la boda. Aquí encontrarás los detalles que necesitas saber de este gran día: localización, itinerario, registro y un poco de nuestra historia. ¡Gracias por formar parte de nuestra vida!
PARA LA BODA SOLO FALTAN:
Todo comenzó en una clase de estadística en la UPR, donde Alex conoció a la mejor amiga de Natalie. Después de que Natalie acusara a Alex de robarse a su mejor amiga, comenzaron a salir poco después. Ninguno esperaba que dos años más tarde estuvieran camino a New Orleans a punto de comenzar su vida juntos. New Orleans, no fue solo la ciudad donde Alex estudiaba Derecho, sino también donde rentaron su primer hogar y adoptaron a la hermosa y consentida Muse.
Tres años más tarde, la pareja decide mudarse a New York donde Alex comienza su carrera como abogado y Natalie comienza sus estudios en Educación Especial. Alex y Natalie disfrutan viajar y conocer distintos lugares, ya sea conduciendo a Newport, Rhode Island a solo 3 horas de New York o tomando un vuelo hasta México. Ambos han disfrutado viajes, risas, aventuras, espectáculos de Broadway, citas en Central Park y no ven la hora de disfrutar de este día con ustedes.
En el verano del 2019, la familia de Natalie eligió a Muse en un Albergue de animales en New Orleans y desde entonces Muse ha sido parte de nuestra familia. El refugio la nombró "Muse" por la parada de Mardi Gras, "Krewe of Muses". Muse no solo nos recuerda de nuestro primer hogar, sino también de las personas que nos ayudaron a crecer y posibilitaron nuestra mudanza a New Orleans. Muse es una perra extremadamente mimada. Disfruta domir, destruir juguetes y comer arena en la playa. Es parte integral de nuestro hogar y familia.
Way back in 2010 when Danielle was a senior at NYU and could not find an internship anywhere, a savior came in the form of Allie Wassel, who hired her as an unpaid intern for the fall semester. This little choice changed Danielle's life forever. When Allie and Danielle realized just how much they had in common, they set out on their adventure to conquer the world together, running half marathons and enjoying yummy vegan goodies along the way.
Luckily for Danielle, Allie had become good friends with Brad while at Scranton, and immediately saw that they would be a perfect pair. She quickly set about pairing them up with some subtle (and not so subtle) hints and nudges. Allie now lives in Austin, Texas, where she gets to enjoy the outdoors all year long, plays recreational sports, and works as a project manager at PSP.
Dan and Brad have been best friends since second grade when they met during the school’s Halloween parade. Dan is the youngest son of Bernie and Barbara Bacchetta and honorary son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell. Brad and Dan grew up riding bikes, playing hockey, and watching Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Dan graduated from Morris Knolls in 2003 and then attended Monmouth University where he earned a degree in graphic design. After graduating, Dan and Brad moved to Hoboken to enjoy the bachelor life. Dan currently lives on the Upper East Side and works at the New York startup WayUp where he is a web designer. When Brad had to choose a Best Man, Dan was the obvious choice for the job.

Waterloo is rich in history, dating back to the time of the Munsee (Lenape) Indians who inhabited northern New Jersey and made use of the rich natural resources and the abundance of the landscape and waterways. Later, with the discovery of rich veins of iron nearby, the Andover Forge was established here, making bar iron for shipment to England before the American Revolution.
The village of Waterloo had its most active period with the arrival of the Morris Canal in 1831. With a canal lock and inclined plane located here, Waterloo Village became a small inland port on the cross-state trip from the Delaware River to the Hudson River. Today, Waterloo Village is the only place on the East Coast where both a canal lock and the remains of an inclined plane can be seen along with the town that grew up around them.
The inclined plane, an engineering wonder, carried canal boats over hills by a system of railroad tracks and cables, overcoming extreme changes in elevation. Once the railroads were built, however, their speed and efficiency made the canal obsolete. With the closing of the canal, Waterloo was left a quiet residential hamlet.
Today, the Village has been restored and is a living example of a bygone era. Visitors can tour the beautiful grounds and buildings for great lessons in history, architecture, social studies, industry, and more.
