Our story began during a time of change and new beginnings. We were both searching for something meaningful—Peter, a values-driven and resilient soul, and Catherine, a college student focused on building a bright future. We met in the most modern way possible, through a dating app (Hinge), and from our very first conversation, something just clicked.

"Our first date at a little Italian restaurant confirmed it—Peter’s kindness, attentiveness, and genuine heart immediately stood out, and by the end of the night, we both knew this could be the start of something special." ~Catherine

"I knew I had the ability to fall in love with Catherine after our first date. I thought she was gentle, kind, comfortable, and amazing to talk to. When we sat down and I looked into her eyes, everything made sense—I understood my ‘why.’ Recently when I proposed, I told her exactly that: she is my ‘why.’" ~Peter

As our connection grew, we navigated the challenges of busy schedules and a long-distance relationship with excitement and commitment. Eventually, our shared vision of building a life together led us to the Syracuse area, where we found a home that reflects everything we love—history, charm, and the beauty of the four seasons. Today, our lives are filled with adventure, laughter, family, and the joy of building a future together. From a chance encounter to creating a life we love, our journey has been one of faith, love, and discovering the best in each other every step of the way.
