Coincidently, we met at Hofstra University during freshmen orientation approximately 7 years prior to our wedding date. After being placed in the same orientation group, we inevitably became acquainted with one another and became best friends before we eventually started dating.
In early 2020, I planned a couples trip to Jamaica for us. I was originally going to propose to Bianca while we were there. However, our trip was canceled due to the shutdown in response to the pandemic. I then planned a more intimate proposal. Upon decorating our living room in rose petals and candles, cooking one of her favorite dinners, and buying one of her favorite bottles of champagne, I asked her to be my wife……of course after getting her grandfather’s blessing first.
