After meeting online, Junior drove from Brooklyn, New York to Fairfield, Connecticut and took Emily to her favorite restaurant. He didn’t come empty handed, as he brought flowers and a graduation teddy bear! The pair went to dinner, stopped for ice cream and watched the sunset. They didn’t want the night to end!

After a few unforgettable dates, Junior and Emily became official, when he asked Emily to be his girlfriend.

A true testament for his care for Emily, after only two months of dating Junior took the train from New York to Boston to be with Emily after her NCLEX exam.

They quickly fell in love with Porky's, the cozy local pub near Emily's apartment. It became their go-to spot, and before long, they were welcomed as part of the Porky's family.

Their first trip as a couple was to Miami and Orlando where they fell in love with traveling to Florida. This was also Junior's first time at Disney and definitely not his last!

Their first wedding together was a special one—Emily's sister's vow renewal on the Cape, marking a meaningful milestone in their relationship.

Their next big adventure took them to Los Angeles, California—a trip that sparked a shared love for exploring new places, which has since become one of their favorite things to do together.

More Porky’s date nights!

They returned to the first city they traveled to as a couple, celebrating their two year anniversary in Miami.

They adopted Ozzy and Nemo, their beloved cats—truly the loves of their lives!

They fell in love with watching basketball together and cheered on Emily's favorite team the Boston Celtics.

They celebrated their three-year anniversary a little early in Cabo, Mexico—where everyone was convinced he was going to propose. Spoiler alert: He didn’t. But hey, at least they got tacos!

After months of waiting, Junior took Emily to the picturesque Chatham Bar Inn during a quiet trip to the Cape, where he asked her to be his forever—turning a simple getaway into a memory they’d both cherish forever.
