We met 8 years ago in 2014 at a party at one of our mutual friend's house. We hit it off right off the bat, exchanged numbers (although Robert couldn't remember my name). We dated for just a few weeks during that summer and then the relationship fizzled out. We unfortunately lost touch, and I moved to Nashville, Tennessee that fall. Fast forward to 2019, I returned to New York for was intended to be only a few months, and Robert walks in to a bar I just happen to be sitting at with a couple of friends. I was hesitant to talk with him again but I quickly realized I couldn't stop wondering about him. We chatted all night, exchanged numbers (again) and very quickly found ourselves spending more and more time together until we became inseparable (needless to say, I wouldn’t return to Nashville). In July 2019, Robert came home from Aruba with the cutest puppy. Cannoli has been such a wonderful addition to our family. Just when I thought life couldn't get any better, Robert proposed to me on a quiet night at home before a Christmas party we were hosting. I was completely shocked but the answer was simple, YES! We can't wait to be able to celebrate our marriage with family and friends from all over!
