Our Wedding

Our story started way back when in airline training where we were playing what Sarah thought was a friendly game of airplane jeopardy... when it was Sarah's turn to answer, she froze and Danny whispered her the wrong answer. Long story short, she eventually forgave him and ever since they have been inseparable. We love a good spontaneous adventure, and are so excited to join each other forever on this adventure we call life.

...and the rest of our story will be written soon. We can't wait to have each and every single one of you join us on this next adventure, as the Harvey's 💕

Our Story

Photos

Our wedding is a small, intimate gathering and the people filling our seats are the ones who have loved us our whole lives. We'd love to take a moment to honor our family, without whom none of this would be possible.

Shirley was born and raised in the NJ area and is a grandmother and great grandmother to many beautiful children. She loves to tend her flower garden and has flower beds around the whole perimeter of her house. Her flowers have even made the newspaper! She also loves cooking (the Vetick family loves eating her food!) and has most certainly passed that cooking passion down to Sarah. 

Shirley Legge

Rick and Steph were both born and raised in New Jersey where they had Sarah in 2003. Growing up, Steph always made sure Sarah went to church, and Ricky always made sure she got ice cream after. Rick and Steph work together today to manage their rental homes in NJ/NC. Rick and Steph are also grandparents to Sarah's cats Lyon and Ember!

Ricky and Stephanie Vetick

Chris and Michele are upstate New York natives whose life together has taken them from New York to California to Mexico. Family is everything to them, and that includes every four-legged member of the pack as well. After raising five kids, they channeled their love into breeding huskies, a passion they've had since the 80s, and today they take great pride in their puppies, their children, and their grandchildren. Today they live back home in upstate New York, surrounded by the family they've spent a lifetime building, every last two-legged and four-legged one of them.

Chris and Michele Harvey

Christine is Sarah's best friend and the best older sister she never knew she needed. From the moment Jay brought her home, she stepped into every role at once: best friend, therapist, biggest cheerleader, fellow Swiftie, and sister, all wrapped into one. She is endlessly kind, fiercely loyal, and the kind of person who makes every room feel warmer just by walking into it. Also- if you get a chance to talk to Christine this weekend, just know you are in the presence of a celebrity. She's gone viral more times than we can count, but her best title has nothing to do with social media. Christine is not only a cat mom, but the mother to her adorable baby girl, Olivia, who will be a whole 13 months old on our special day! She is married to Jay Vetick and they live in New Jersey. Christine brings the party to any celebration and is Jay's (way) more fun other half!

Christine Vetick

Chris accompanies Ricky on the Jersey shore with his wife Meghan and their family. You can find both Chris and Ricky side by side on pretty much every fun outing- from burger nights to marathons. For work he is in IT, and for fun he runs, bikes, hikes, goes to concerts, comedy shows, and pretty much everything in between. Oh, and one more thing-  if you hear anyone yell "go birds" or start an Eagles chant this weekend, just go ahead and look in Chris's direction first. Bills fans, you've been warned.

Chris Rauscher

Ricky is the brother that taught Sarah how to fly airplanes, ride dirt bikes, drive boats, jet-skis and so much more.  Ricky lives it up on the Jersey shore with his two lovely and energetic little girls Riley and Jadyn, who will be 7 and 5 at the time of our wedding. For work Ricky flies for American Airlines, for fun- pretty much everything that burns oil and gas is right up his alley. If you ain't first, you're last!

Ricky Vetick

Jay was the middle child growing up, which means that he was Sarah's favorite brother to harass and their Mom and Dad didn't do a thing about it. To be fair though-  that also probably means she thought he was cool back then. But today, he is a total nerd-  and before he disputes that, I'd like to note that I don't know anyone else who built a homemade laser gun to shoot in their basement. Ask him about his work and you'll end up learning about the fascinating world of quantum computing, or you'll leave thinking Jay speaks a completely different language. Ask him about the stock market, and you'll be talking until the morning. Jay was a rebel sk8tr boy back in the day, consistently places #2 in all of the two games of BP he has played with Sarah, and somehow knows more Gen Z slang than Sarah to this day. Jay is pretty cool by himself, however, his saving grace is his spectacular wife, Christine, and adorable daughter Olivia. 

Jay Vetick

Mike is the youngest of the Vetick boys and easily the most educated, which is a fact he's never too shy to remind Jay of. If you spot the two of them off in a corner, there's a 99% chance they've fallen into a spirited debate about science or economics, and if you somehow find yourself interested in that stuff it might be worth pulling up a chair for. If not, there's also a 99% chance that just a few feet away, their wives Erica and Christine have already moved on to a far more interesting conversation. Between blowing up a propane bottle and falling out of a second-story window as a kid, it's a wonder he is now a doctor, though none of us are really surprised he is. He and Erica are raising three wonderful boys in Connecticut: Caleb who will be 5, Gabriel who will be just shy of 4, and little Owen who will be just shy of 2. If they're anything like their dad, we're just hoping they skip the propane phase and go straight to the doctor part.

Michael Vetick

Christopher by day, Buck by night, 24/7 husky whisperer and the sweetest 6'0" long-haired bearded man you will ever meet. Buck can lay down a serious beat on the drums (he is in fact professionally trained!) and enjoys all types of music (even some T-Swift now thanks to Sarah!). Buck is also the dedicated Funcle to his nephew Teddy (Yes, Buck does get 'Teddy' privileges) and the two of them are inseperable. Buck currently works alongside his parents and a lot of adorable huskies and has an endless amount of husky pictures to share. However, whatever you do- do NOT ask him about his pet raccoon. Or do. Up to you!

Christopher (AKA Buck) Harvey

As Danny's oldest sister, we have Ash to personally thank for making sure he always stayed in line and treated women with the utmost respect. Ashleigh has once built an all-purple engine completely on her own, is educated on just about every fun and entertaining conspiracy theory you believe in, and loves a good game of UNO after dinner (fair warning- she will beat you!). For work she travels all around the world as an aircraft mechanic, and for fun she loves to go on trips with her family. Ashleigh is from upstate New York but currently calls Texas home, where she resides as the queen of her all-boy household with her husband Tom and her son Theodore, who will be 9 at the time of our wedding (P.S. he just might let you call him Teddy, if he decides you're cool enough).

Ashleigh Babiarz

Katie is a sister, mom, hype woman, die-hard Bills fan (Eagles fans, consider yourselves warned) and the life of every party she's ever walked into. She can make you laugh, cheer or cry with you at a football game, make you feel deeply loved, get you into trouble, and then turn right around and get you back out of it-  and if things go truly sideways, she is an attorney and will represent you with the full backing of the New York State Bar... and she'll do it all before she has to pick her daughter Avery up from daycare. She lives in upstate NY with her husband Mike and her daughter Avery who will be 18 months old on our wedding day.

Katie Virkler

As you can probably tell, Danny is the more handsome twin, but don't worry, we don't all have to agree at once. Mike may have been the firstborn, though it's widely alleged they were switched as babies during bath time and nobody really knows who the older one truly is. Leave it to Mike to take the credit anyway though. And if you really want to rub it in and prove that birth order doesn't mean anything, go ahead and ask Mike which one of them is technically more junior at work and which one is more senior. Growing up, he and Danny were true partners in crime, living it out with every bow and arrow and BB gun they could get their hands on. As they got older, that partnership never slowed down, the two of them have traveled all over the country together, always chasing the next adventure and opportunity. Today Mike lives in upstate NY with his wife Lydia.

Ultimate Formal Attire Shopping Guide

25 Hand-Picked Formal Guest Dresses

Tux vs. Suit: What's the Difference?

Our celebration calls for formal attire, and we're encouraging everyone to lean into fall. Any fall tones like rich burgundies, deep greens, warm golds, and earthy tones that complement the stunning autumn backdrop will be beautiful. Not only will you look amazing, but you'll make our photos in the peak foliage mountains even more beautiful.A couple of things to keep in mind: October in Keene typically brings temperatures in the 50s, so plan to layer up and stay cozy for our outdoor ceremony (ladies, break out those beautiful furs you've been dying to take out of the back of your closet), and grab shoes that you can comfortably walk through the grass with. Although we will have a tent with heat for the reception, a majority of our activities will be outside.We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Dress Code

Q + A

Since our wedding is small, we will not be reserving a hotel block, rather allowing everyone to pick their preferred hotel options in accordance with their preferences and budgets. However, this is an incredibly popular time of year for this region and you will need to book your hotel ASAP to ensure availability. All listed hotels have 2 night minimums. If you plan on arriving the day of, we recommend hotel options in Lake Placid (20-25 mins away). Additionally, we are encouraging families to carpool to the venue and assign designated drivers as there will not be many ubers or designated transportation options. If you are in need of transportation or a designated driver, please reach out to the bride or groom and we will be more than happy to arrange it. Disclaimer: When booking, use the website hyperlink, not "website" icon at the bottom of the listing.

Things to Do

Registry

We're so excited to celebrate with you at the Bark Eater Inn in Keene, New York on October 17th. Since the venue is out in the Adirondack mountains, here's what you need to know to get here without any trouble.

The Venue

Bark Eater Inn 124 Alstead Hill Lane, Keene, NY 12942Note: depending on your GPS or map app, this address might show up as Alstead Hill Road instead of Lane. Either one will get you to the right place. Please download the maps prior to your departure as you are almost guaranteed to lose cell service on your way up.The Inn is about a two hour drive north of Albany, just outside the village of Keene. The reception will be held in a tent next to the Inn, and the ceremony will take place at the Wedding Knoll on the property, about a ten minute walk from the Inn. We'll post a map of the property here so you know exactly where to go.

Parking

There's parking at the Inn, but space is very limited and double parking might be required. If you're coming with other guests, please try to carpool if you can and ensure you know who you are parking in if double parking becomes necessary.

Transportation

If you'd like a ride to and from the wedding, just reach out to us and let us know where you're staying, and we'll help arrange it. Ubers are sparse and unreliable in this area, so if you are the kind of partier that likes to spend your time close to the open bar, we'd really encourage you arrange a ride with the most trusted DD in your family, or let us know so we can find you one. Nobody wants you to test your driving skills up against dark, winding mountain roads after one too many of the couple's signature drinks.If you are not partaking in the adult beverage shenanigans and you'd rather drive yourself, just know the roads up here very windy, so give yourself some extra time to arrive.

What time should I plan to arrive?

Earlier is always better! Please plan for generous buffer times as wrong turns are easy to make in this region, especially without reliable cell service. A great time to shoot for on your GPS ETA is 2:30-2:45 to ensure you are parked and walking down to the wedding knoll by 3pm at the latest. This will allow you to navigate roads, parking, the walk down to the wedding knoll, and all the pictures you take of the scenery along the way.Once you arrive at the wedding knoll, you will meet our very official and well renowned wedding security (Theodore) and he will confirm if you are on the guest list or not. He also might even show you to your seat if you are a VIP. Just remember, no funny business gets past Theodore!
