Our Wedding

We met at Sonic in Wallingford, our summer job in 2020. On August 16, we made it official and started dating right as we went back to college. After Gian graduated from Colgate University in 2022, he moved to Madison, WI. We continued long distance from CT to WI and soon after, Erika graduated from University of Connecticut in 2023. She decided to go to occupational therapy school in WI to be closer to Gian. During this time, we were an hour apart (which felt so close compared to 15) and would spend weekends together. In August 2024, we moved in together in Madison. We also decided to expand our family and adopt a cat, Miller Lite. On April 26, 2025, Gian popped the question in Madison on a bench overlooking the lake.
