We were introduced at a bar on West 6th. in Austin, in your typical “my friend is single, you are single” fashion. Audrey’s favorite song at the time, Disclosure’s “Latch” comes on, and she immediately pulls Tino to the dance floor. Let’s just say, his willingness to be silly with her & make her laugh is what attracted her to him over his actual dance moves!
We were a few days into our two week trip around Italy. Valentino was determined that I get to ride my first ever gondola while we were in Venice. After almost an hour of him searching for someone that would take us to the very busy Rialto bridge, we were on our way to the happiest night of my life. As we approached the bridge, the gondolier tells us that he cannot go beneath the bridge because of the high traffic, and offers to take a photo of us instead. We get our photo taken.... and the rest is history!
