Would you rather hear a dad joke or an interesting fact?

The question Holly came across on the dating app Hinge. Despite the multiple pictures of Stefano in a different country, Holly had to decide whether or not to pursue a connection with Stefano. Swipe left and never see Stefano again, or swipe right and hope that Stefano would form a connection. With no hesitation, Stefano formed the connection and shared his worst dad joke ever. Luckily for Stefano, Holly thought it was cute and the conversation continued to speaking about Stefano shark cage diving in South Africa. How Holly did not immediately run away we will never know, but that was the least of her concerns as soon after they connected COVID happened. Given the uncertainty around COVID, Stefano and Holly would spend weeks on Zoom having virtual dinner dates. The connection was undeniable and they were both itching to meet in person. Two months go by, and Stefano gets the chance to see Holly at a park nearby and enjoy their forever favorite meal Chick-fil-a.

From that moment forward, there was nothing stopping Holly and Stefano from continuing their love story. From moving in together in Stefano’s apartment to buying a townhouse and their sweet little pup Maisey, their journey to a perfect spring day in March 2022 was more than anything they ever dreamed of. Holly thought it was a day like no other, where she was taking pictures with Stefano as her Uncle Ron wanted to see how a new photographer would interact with strangers. Holly and Stefano walked up to a beautiful decorated gazebo, but before they could enter, Stefano proceeds to get down on one knee to tell Holly how she was his best friend and loved her so much. He then pulls out a ring from his jacket and asks Holly to marry him, which Holly immediately says yes. Both of them full of excitement and happiness, could not stop smiling. They ended their engagement celebration surrounded by friends and family.

They are so excited to spend their wedding day the same way, surrounded by friends, family, and delicious food! They can’t wait for the next chapter in their story.
