Angelo and I met for the first time at a bonfire party on Dania Beach in early 2018. We didn't talk much during our first encounter, aside from chasing a raccoon away from the beach together. However, a few months later, we would end up seeing each other more and more at parties and hangouts with mutual friends, where we started to strike up a friendship. Angelo eventually joined me in the Keys with a few friends for Spring Break 2018, which was such a fun and memorable weekend for the both of us! We shopped for groceries together and cooked a traditional Italian meal of pasta and ragu for everyone!
While Angelo was working as a chef in Chicago for a high-end Italian restaurant chain, I went to visit him for a week, as we had been dating long distance since the summer and we were missing each other all the time. Towards the end of our trip, we went to dinner at the Signature Room in the Hancock Tower in Chicago where Angelo proposed to me after a beautiful dinner overlooking the lit up city of Chicago! Of course, I said yes! Angelo and I eloped with a small ceremony held in Fort Lauderdale on March 2, 2019. In celebration of our 5-Year Wedding Anniversary, we would be honored to renew our vows in front of friends and family in an intimate ceremony and reception celebration in Key Largo! A place that is near and dear to our hearts.
