We met during the height of COVID — proof that even in uncertain times, something unexpected and beautiful can begin. It started on a rooftop patio, where hours of conversation, laughter, and music turned a simple evening into the start of something lasting. Between espresso martinis, bad dance moves, and talk of Game of Thrones, everything felt easy — like we have known each other for years.

Admittedly, I blew him off a few times after that, but he didn’t give up. He asked me to go to Las Casa, one of my all-time favorite dinner spots, and I said yes. That night, the conversation flowed just as easily as the first time. From that point on, we were pretty much inseparable.

Some of our favorite memories include Bills games—both the parties at home and the unforgettable party bus trips to the stadium with all our friends. We’ve gone on so many adventures together, but nothing beats our yearly family vacation to the Jersey Shore. It’s become our little tradition—sunsets on the beach, boardwalk fries, and quality time with the people we love most.

As we look ahead, our hopes and dreams are simple but full: a life built on laughter, loyalty, and love. we can’t wait for all the milestones ahead—big and small—as long as we’re facing them side by side.
