The Shickoras | Riverdale Manor Wedding | Lancaster, PA
The kind of love that began during one of the most uncertain times — the early days of COVID — turned into something steady, joyful, and deeply beautiful. 💫 After connecting on a dating app, Rachel & Vinny spent an entire month building a connection through long conversations before ever meeting in person. Their first in-person date at Birdsboro Reservoir? It later became the place where Vinny proposed… while Rachel was searching for rocks to skip. 🥹💍
On June 27th, these two soulmates promised forever at the beautiful Riverdale Manor in Lancaster, PA. Their day was filled with intentionality, love, laughter, and music — the perfect reflection of who they are, both as individuals and together. 🤍
