This love story started 22 years ago in Rocky River. Joe and Andreana crossed paths many times, starting in Kindergarten, then in the hallways at RRHS, on the golf bus, on the baseball/softball fields, and so on. Although we never spoke a single word to the other, we would come to be best friends and soulmates. Fast forward to 2021, we happened to meet in Rocky River while Joe was visiting home. We found out that we had even more in common then we could've ever imagined, and Andreana happened to be moving in as Joe's neighbor in Columbus later that summer. We both had goofy personalities, the same love for golf + baseball, and the desire to always strive to be better individually and together.

Since then, we have been so blessed to grow our relationship with the help of God, our family, friends and each other. Joe and Andreana were there for each other through the ups and the downs, including law school, surgeries, new career steps, and more. Together we adopted the light of our lives and our first child, Mr. Bear. We were both confirmed into the Catholic church at the same time last Easter and are eternally grateful to have grown our faith in God over the past four years. We took many trips to Florida together, and it was there when we both told each other we wanted to get married and later on got engaged. Joe grew up visiting Florida with his family, so it was a very special place for us to decide to spend the rest of our lives together. Joe proposed while overlooking the ocean in Marco Island, FL during October 2023.

We can't wait to start this new chapter together as a family happily ever after :) We thank God for the opportunity and blessing to love each other every day, and we look forward to rooting our lives, marriage and family in God from here on out. We are so lucky and so thankful to be able to tie the knot surrounded by our closest family and friends! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!
