Our Wedding

As I start all of my cards to Joe… where do I even begin?! What started off as a “blind” meetup thanks to our friends, turned into the love of a lifetime. We gave it a whirl and after seeing limited pictures of each other, we met for the first time going to an Orange Theory class. After that, and several hang outs with our friends, Joe still didn’t ask for my number. It’s okay guys, clearly it all worked out and now he knows it by heart! We had our first date at Rooney’s in Long Branch, and the rest is history. We both knew that we didn’t want to spend time apart (even though I went to Florida for two weeks two days later) and would talk nonstop. After several dates & helping setting up my classroom, Joe asked me to be his girlfriend. It’s been a beautiful life so far together, with lots of fun adventures, owning a house and being pawrents to our handsome fur baby, Maverick. We can’t wait to all have the same last name, and to continue building our wonderful life and family. 🤍
