How it all began
“Bro… I don’t even know how to explain it, she’s got this energy, like I’ve known her forever.”

“Something about him felt calm and real… like I didn’t have to perform, I could just be.”

You could say our love story has been years in the making. We first crossed paths in high school, just enough to know each other’s names, but not much more. Then came Kean University, where we both earned our degrees and were even part of Greek life. Same campus, same events, same circles… yet somehow, we never actually met. Looking back, it feels like the universe was giving us a thousand chances to find each other, but saving the real moment for later.
That moment came years after graduation with something as simple as an Instagram DM. What started as a quick message turned into a same-day first date (because when it feels right, why wait?). From that night on, everything just clicked. The conversations were easy, the laughter constant, and it felt like we’d finally caught up to the love story that was waiting for us all along.
Since then, life together has been nothing short of an adventure, equal parts fun, romantic, and full of “how did we get so lucky?” moments. From Sunday routines to big milestones, we’ve built a life that feels like home no matter where we are, as long as we’re together.
And now, after all the missed connections and the perfect timing of that one DM, we can’t wait to celebrate the start of forever. On November 21, 2026, under the Punta Cana sky, we’ll say “I do” with our favorite people by our side.
