We're so excited to celebrate with you!

Although Gaspare secretly had a crush on Andrea while attending high school at Joseph A. Foran, the two reconnected through a mutual friend at Prime 16 in New Haven in 2013. While they casually spoke over the next year and half as friends, Gaspare reached out to Andrea on Thanksgiving night in 2014 to go out for a beer at TGIFridays after their family dinners and the timing was right. The rest is history.

The two moved in together by downtown Milford and Gulf Beach and happily remain there today.

Gaspare completely surprised Andrea with popping the question on a night walk at Anchor Beach two days before her 35th birthday. Their parents were waiting back at his mom's house with champagne and cake to celebrate the joining of the two families. The next evening, they were able to celebrate with extended friends and family at what she thought would be a birthday party, that doubled as an impromptu engagement party.

While the big celebration was put on hold due to COVID-19, Gaspare and Andrea wouldn't put their love on hold. They were married in a very small church service at St. Barbara's Greek Orthodox Church on a beautiful September day. It was the most perfect day they could have imagined in the given circumstances, surrounded by the love of their closest family members. The number 26 holds meaning to them, and this day was picked intentionally as a way to celebrate the blessings in their lives.
