Our story begins in the Summer of 2021, with dinner on the water in Bay Shore, followed by watching the sunset at Gilgo Beach. Thankfully, Tom was not the Gilgo Beach Killer, and a great relationship began to blossom. From our first date, it never felt awkward or forced; the instant connection made it seem more like talking to an old friend. After a few weeks of dating, Tom made it "official" by romantically asking "So do i need to ask you to be my girlfriend, or are we already there?"

Over the next two and a half years, we experienced countless more sunsets, memories, and life experiences. We discovered that our paths had crossed multiple times without ever meeting. Christina had played college soccer down the street from Tom's house, Tom's work partner went to elementary school with Christina, and we were set to be blind dates at a party years prior to meeting. It seemed as though we were always destined to be together.

We have started to build a beautiful life together with a home and our fur-babies, Leo and Athena. We are very excited to share with you all this special day, the beginning of the rest of our lives.
