Stephanie & Vinnie’s Classic Summer Wedding at Granite Links

Sometimes you just know when something clicks. For Stephanie and Vinnie, that spark happened in the summer of 2021, when they matched on Bumble and agreed to meet up for drinks at the River Bar in Somerville. What was supposed to be a quick first date turned into dinner—and then into plans for a Red Sox game together. From there, it didn’t take long for their connection to grow into something that felt effortless and real.

One of those early dates stands out as a turning point. They found themselves tucked into a local bar when a sudden downpour hit. While chatting with two regulars who knew the owner, they were treated to fancy cocktails on the house. At some point, Vinnie got up, and one of the men asked Stephanie how long they had been dating. When she said, “Oh, this is only our third or fourth date,” he was floored. To him, it already seemed like they had been together for years. That’s the kind of instant connection you can’t fake.

A Summer Celebration at Granite Links

Fast forward to July 26, 2025, and Stephanie and Vinnie tied the knot on a picture-perfect summer day at Granite Links in Quincy, Massachusetts. The sun was shining, the breeze was light, and the atmosphere was filled with so much joy. Granite Links was the obvious choice for them—not only do they share a love of golf, but it’s also where Vinnie proposed. It only made sense to return to that same spot to say “I do.”

The Look

Stephanie looked stunning in a strapless sheath gown with sparkling sequin embellishments from Flair Bridal in Boston. Her bridesmaids wore flowing dusty blue dresses from Azazie, while Vinnie and his groomsmen kept it sharp in dark grey suits with light blue ties from The Black Tux. Their color palette of dusty blue and white felt fresh, minimalistic, and very coastal New England—a perfect match for a July wedding by the greens.

Family, Fun, and Espresso Martinis

Family was front and center throughout the day, starting with Vinnie’s sister, Jeana, who officiated their ceremony. She didn’t just guide them through their vows—she also surprised everyone with some big news: Stephanie and Vinnie’s offer on a house had been accepted the week before. And not just any house—it was the house Vinnie grew up in. Their guests were completely shocked, and it made the moment even more memorable.

Another fun, personal touch? An espresso martini ice sculpture at the reception, which quickly became a guest favorite. It was one of those little details that brought a sense of fun and personality to the celebration—classic and elegant, but never too serious.
