Here’s a preview of Abbey and Tim’s beautiful destination wedding held on Sanibel Island, Florida at the Sundial Beach and Golf Resort. Check back soon, we’ll have more images.
Below Abbey shares with us how it all got started between the two of them….
Tim and I met during the summer of 2007. I was bored that summer, which is completely unlike me haha, and decided to get a job. A new Bertucci’s was just opening in the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro, MA so I headed over and applied for a job. I had absolutely no restaurant experience, but I managed to get an interview. The first person to interview me was Tim. It was honestly love at first sight. At one point during the interview instead of asking me what my availability was to work, Tim instead asked me if I was available. Being the awkward and silly person I am, I giggled and said that actually yes, I was available. Then I proceeded to tell him my days and hours of availability. Of course Tim was mortified and laughed, responding with some excuse about how he was new to the interviewing process and to excuse him. After that I can’t remember much, except that he was so handsome and lovely! After the interview I went home and the first thing I said to my Mom was, “I met my husband today!” Of course she was like what are you talking about.. I thought you went for a job interview?? Anyway, I got the job! After a few weeks of working and flirting Tim decided to join a few employees, including myself, for a night out. Now.. this was completely frowned upon as he was a Manager and was not supposed to hang with employees outside of work. Still, he came. We exchanged numbers, went on more dates, went to each others houses.. and not long after Tim asked me to be his girlfriend! Someone at work ended up telling the General Manager at the time that the two of us were dating and upon finding that out I was given an ultimatum. Since it was frowned upon for employees and managers to date, I was given two choices – either stay at Bertucci’s and stop dating Tim OR keep dating Tim and I could either quit or get fired. I made the decision right then and there to give my notice and stay with Tim.. and the rest is basically history! I moved on to finish college and find other jobs, and Tim stayed at Bertucci’s where he is now the General Manager of that restaurant. And of course we kept dating, moved in with each other, got engaged, and now we are finally married!! And that’s our love story! ;0)
