Our Wedding

We met on PlentyofFish.com! (Keith messaged me first!) We didn't waste much time before meeting.. maybe a week or 2.. because we both had an attitude of let's just get this over with and move on to the next, lol. I learned from past online dating experiences that you can talk on the phone to someone for hours but once you meet in person you'll know right away if you even want a 2nd date! So, no need to waste any of his or my time! lol My "go-to" was getting pizza! It was quick, cheap &amp; good! Keith and I decided to meet on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. We went to A&amp;G Pizza in Layton, NJ (now known as The Layton Hotel Tavern) on May 24, 2013. It was half way between our houses. I had to google what a Subaru Forester looked like so I could anxiously watch for him! He opened the door for me and as he likes to say, "He batted his eyelashes at me!" After we finished eating he asked if I wanted to meet his dog. With Keith's "massive stature," I expected a big dog and was shocked to meet Mya (aka: Chicken) - his 8 pound Shih-tzu! We had great conversation.. STILL DO! I was pleasantly surprised and definitely wanted a 2nd date! Read more about our 12 year journey in the "photos" section!

Our Story

Photos

Jackie's "big sis!" I've looked up to her my whole life! She is an amazing cook & baker and she can whip up (crochet!) a blanket for you in record time! She started at the bottom and climbed her way up the corporate ladder in her banking career! She puts others needs before her own, volunteers and helps with everything at the drop of a hat and she's my go-to person for any important, financial or legal matters! She's also a fighter.. in more ways than 1, hehe 🤪 I admire that and I'm glad we're on the same team! She's been waiting 11 years to be my Matron of Honor and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you! Love ya, Val! 😘

(We are standing next to the firetruck bell that has our grandfather's name engraved on it in Wayne, NJ! 😁 Although, we never got to meet him, his memory was kept alive so I feel like I did know him. I'll be forever grateful for that! ❤️)

Valerie 

Jackie's BFF since 4th grade! Pictured is when we did The Dirty Girl Mud Run together! We have so many other wonderful memories together too!! ❤️All of our childhood and sleepover days to road trips to Rhode Island and everything in between! Milestones like your wedding and being at the hospital when you had both of your babies ofcourse too! 🩷💙 You will always be a part of our family! Looking forward to many more good times! Thank you for patiently waiting to fulfill your bridesmaid duty, LOL. Love you lots! 😘

Stacey

Keith's "little" sister and my "bonus" sister!  (This picture is from our first trip to Hawaii in 2013!) Keith has a very special bond with Michelle! They are best friends! They talk daily and tell eachother pretty much everything! We've had so many great memories with her with many more to come as she will be bringing a very special little girl into the world who we can't wait to spoil! 🎀 Michelle is very caring & nurturing and she dropped everything to be there for Keith after his accident! She's fun & creative and loves teaching, coaching & chaperoning them on class trips! I know she will be an AMAZING mother! 🩷 Congratulations to you and Steve and we hope "Baby Paluzzi" waits until after the wedding to make her appearance! LOL 🥰 Love ya, sis! 😘

Michelle

Leah is our beautiful niece! (Jimmy's daughter!) She loves to sing, dance & do gymnastics! She is my yoga buddy! 🧘‍♀️ She's also a huge animal lover, she loves ALL kinds of music, she's very creative and best of all, she's super sweet! 🥰 Congratulations to her as she is going into MIDDLE SCHOOL next year! 🤯 We are proud of the young lady she is becoming! 😘 Can't wait to dance with her at my wedding! 👠👠 We love you, Lee-Lee! 

Leah 

Keith's very talented big brother! (He carved that tiki head among several other awesome gifts throughout the years!) Grandma Rose always called him the "farmer" because he has a beautiful home with a huge property with lots of chickens, goats and horses! 🐐 He and Keith played with fire and many other stupid things as kids LOL (Boys will be boys!) Greg cut up Keith's food in the hospital and dropped everything to help their Dad build a wheelchair ramp for him .. Greg is there when you need him and he always puts his family first! Thank you! Love ya, bro! 🍻 

Greg

Jackie's "big" bro! He wears many different hats and has many different skills! He's a successful business owner (Handyman Services!) and he's an AMAZING Dad! I'm super proud and lucky to have him as my brother! We're also all so happy for him and his girlfriend, Jenny! He deserves only the best! 😁 Love ya, bro! 🍻

Jackie's brother-in-law! (Val's husband)  He and Keith have shared many birthday celebrations together as they are only 6 days apart! I was lucky enough to live with Val & Tom for 7 years. We said it was like "Three's Company!" There's never a dull moment when he's around and we always have a ton of laughs! Tom is always ready to tell you his best "Dad joke" or tell you your shoelace is untied when you're wearing flip-flops! 🤪 LOL He's a "brother from another mother" and he definitely had to be a part of our wedding party! Love ya, Tom! 🍻

Jackie's AWESOME nephew! (Jim's son!) This picture is at his senior prom with his girlfriend, Addy. 🎈Congratulations to him on being a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!👨‍🎓 We are so proud of the man he's become! Tyler is always super thoughtful, helpful, funny, stylish, clean-cut, smart and I love how much he values time with the family! I especially love how much his sister adores him too! He's the best! 🥰 Love you, Ty! 😘

Wedding Party

Q + A

I reserved a block of rooms at The Best Western. The cut off date (with this discount) is July 17. You can cancel your reservation at no charge up until 4pm on 8/16. This hotel is 1 mile from the venue.

Best Western Hunt's Landing Hotel Matamoras/Milford

This RV Park is on the same property of The Riverview Inn (The wedding venue!) Please contact Judy Shay (owner of both places) and tell her you're a guest of Jackie &amp; Keith's wedding there on 8/16!

Tri-State RV Park

I didn't reserve rooms here but it's right next to the other hotel-Best Western. It's 1 mile from the venue.

Hampton Inn Matamoras/Milford

Travel

This is a small monument across the river in Port Jervis, NY where you can stand in all 3 states! (NJ, NY &amp; PA) It's 4.6 miles away from The Riverview Inn. It's all the way in the back of the Laurel Grove Cemetary. It's free. Ask us for more info- it's not a huge tourist area so may be hard to find! (No tolls to cross the Matamoras/Port Jervis bridge)

Tri-States Monument

A 7.4 mile drive from The Riverview Inn. There's a lookout as well as a short drive of snake-like curves along the river. There's a few areas to pull over, take pictures and enjoy the view! It's free. (No tolls to cross the Matamoras/Port Jervis bridge)

The Hawks Nest Lookout

Beautiful trails and waterfalls. We came here on our 2nd date for a hike and picnic! Keith still says I took the bigger half of our sandwich that day!? haha (I didn't do it on purpose!) We got our engagement photos done here as well. It was always a childhood favorite as I grew up in Dingmans Ferry, PA. It's also free! (Dingmans Falls was too but unfortunately that is closed for the season this year due to needing repairs.) If you're planning on sightseeing or staying in the area while you're here then please let us know and we can give you more ideas of what to do in the area!
