Grand Island NY Summer Wedding Overlooking the Niagara River

Anthony Mascaro and Tori Aronica exchanged vows on August 2, overlooking the beautiful Niagara River on Grand Island, New York. The day was centered around their family & closest friends, as they chose to be surrounded by an intimate group of those who love and support them most!

Tori’s stunning Justin Alexander gown may have ended up covered in dirt and mud, but she mentioned countless times how thankful she was for the rain and clouds that day! It had been sunny and scorching hot at their rehearsal, and it turned out that this wedding-day forecast was the biggest blessing in disguise!

From a hilarious best man & groom first look, to an intimate ceremony officiated by a close family friend, to the personalized, heartfelt speeches… it was so evident that to know Tori & Anthony is to love them! They are hilarious, family-oriented, fun-loving, and WILDLY proud of their Italian roots. (And after having homemade pizza, stuffed peppers, and countless Italian desserts throughout the day… I can see why!) It truly was the perfect celebration for these two and their love story!

Tori & Anthony–

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your amazing circle for a day! (I am still hoping your families will consider adopting me so I never have to go a day without the incredible hospitality and delicious food that Grand Island has to offer!) Wishing you two all the best as you embark on the rest of your lives together!

Thank you to everyone who made Tori & Anthony’s day possible!
