Our Wedding

They say timing is everything, and for us, that couldn't be more true. The real beginning of our story started not in 2020, but five years earlier, in 2015, with the well-intentioned (and slightly ahead-of-schedule) help of a few family members. In 2015, with the help of family, I was first asked what I thought about Mikey. At the time I wasn’t interested at all and neither of us could have imagined what the future had in store. The idea was put on the back burner, a forgotten "what if" in our lives. We each went on our own journeys, not knowing that our paths were destined to cross again. Fast forward to 2020, once again with a little encouragement from Mikey’s sister and my cousin, I was asked about Mikey a second time. This time, something was different. We began talking, and before long we shared our very first date at Angelina’s Kitchen.&nbsp; &nbsp;We started talking, and the conversation just flowed naturally. We realized that all the years we spent apart, growing and learning, had prepared us to finally meet each other when we were both truly ready. From that moment on, a new chapter began. Over the past five years, we have traveled together, built countless memories, and created a bond filled with laughter, love and adventure. It's a reminder that good things are worth waiting for, and that sometimes, a little help from a persistent family member (and a lot of perfect timing) is all you need. We're forever grateful that they saw something in us that we weren't ready to see in ourselves yet, and for having the courage to try a second time. Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of one day getting married in Italy. Mikey shares that same love, from vacations together in Italy, to time spent with family, to sipping wine in the place that means so much to both of us. Now, that lifelong dream is becoming a reality as we celebrate our wedding in Italy, surrounded by love, family and everything that brought us together.&nbsp; As we step into this chapter, one thing is certain: this is only the beginning of our forever.&nbsp;
