Maeve & Frankie’s Story

How They Met

Frankie and Maeve met in the fall of their third year at the University of Virginia’s Saint Anthony’s Hall. Once they started talking, they never wanted to stop.

Life Together

After dating long-distance for two years, Maeve and Frankie reunited in New York City and chose to build a home on the Upper West Side. Now, they spend their time studying at Columbia University (Maeve psychology, Frankie business), exploring the city, cooking favorite recipes together, and laughing a lot.

The Proposal

On June 2, 2025, Frankie planned a picnic on the Loire River and asked Maeve to be his wife. She said YES, which means it’s time to plan a wedding! We hope you can join us for the celebration!!!

Contact Information

If you should have any questions regarding the ceremony, wedding events, or logistics please feel free to text or call Maeve ( 434-989-5928 ) or Frankie ( 973-255-0090 ). We hope to see you there!
