Just a story about an Italian girl and an Irish boy falling in-love!

Blase and Nadine first met each other in high school back in 2009. They both developed a crush on each other, until Nadine decided to switch schools, and their crush/friendship faded as their social life changed.

Fast forward to October 2018 where their relationship re-kindled. Blase and Nadine hung out at a Yankees vs Red Sox playoff game (GO YANKS). Quickly after this day, their feelings from the past sparked. They both could not shake the inevitable and knew they had to pursue each other again. They went on a few dates, exchanged "I love you" within a month, and have been the happiest since.

They have shared endless memories and milestones. They rented their first apartment in 2020 at Monmouth Beach and were quarantined together. Blase convinced her to get a puppy (their sweet Kane, who is now 5!). And they bought their first home together in October 2023. For the last seven years, all of their friends and family were "patiently" waiting for their engagement. On February 1, 2025, Blase decided to ask Nadine to spend forever with him while laying on their couch with Kane. When Blase asked Nadine's dad for his blessing in marriage, he responded "you've been my son in law for years now". And so many others were thrilled -- "FINALLY!"

A month later, on March 1, 2025, Nadine and Blase exchanged vows in a private ceremony at home, officiated by their good friend Zachary Zuczek.

As we all know, Nadine and Blase are not into the traditional patterns of events. But they are forever grateful for everyone who supports them and loves them! They cannot wait to celebrate with their favorite people on February 28, 2026!!! At midnight on this evening of the reception, will be their one-year anniversary!
