It was July of 2020 in the thick of the pandemic. Our world had been turned upside down. It was an unexpected time to find new love.

Walking out of the Pittsford Pub after a girls night my long-time / since 4th grade bestie Patty Davis told me she had someone she wanted me to meet. She was hosting a meatball truck party in her driveway in a few weeks and said she'd invite us both...no pressure and she would not tell me his name for fear I would google him...the night arrives and when I walked in Patty was in a tizz because her 90 year old neighbor had fallen in her kitchen. So I wandered around looking for men without wedding bands. There were not many and there were some I was happy DID have wedding bands on - haha ! I was hanging with Patty's husband Jeff who was also in on the plan, but Jeff was having way too much fun and kinda forgot about the plan, so at the end of the night when Patty asked him "where is John Costello?" she was not happy with Jeff when he said he had gone home! To try and make amends, and unbeknownst to me he took my pic and texted it to John 😂. Fortunately John was still interested and so we went to Plan B. Patty and I would be conveniently having dinner the following Wednesday when John would be coming off the course after men's golf night. So we finally met and he asked me out during a brief two week reprieve when one could actually see live music IF you kept a mask on until you were seated. I think you had to order something to eat too 🙄 Any way the band we saw was Junkyard Field-trip who will be playing at our wedding!

The rest is history and we cannot wait to welcome you to Key West for our best day ever!
