After connecting on match.com, Fallon and Bill met for a drink in April 2009. Although she was initially skeptical about online dating, the pair hit it off instantly. An in-person meeting for a quick drink turned into a five-hour conversation that ended only because the bar closed. By October, Bill was spreading a blanket for a picnic, uncorking a bottle of wine, reciting a love letter he crafted, and asking Fallon to marry him. “It just felt right,” she says.
Fallon chose to return to her hometown of Duxbury, Massachusetts, to tie the knot. An ocean-side estate across the street from Fallon’s childhood home was the perfect setting to celebrate the couple’s love of the outdoors amidst their favorite colors of green and blue
Sam was a timber frame carpenter. Sasha was a teacher. They started dating in 2007 and kept a long distance relationship going while she finished her Master’s Degree in teaching. After becoming engaged in the fall of 2008, they took their time thinking about the actual wedding, first starting with Salty Dog Farm, an organic farm with a Community Supported Agriculture program—and Sasha got pregnant. The blissful event finally happened after Sasha’s mother asked “when are you going to have this wedding?” Sasha and Sam are grateful for Amber Small, who pulled off a spectacular wedding for 220 guests in just eight months! Four months later daughter Beatrice, now two, arrived to the happily married couple.
