As many love stories start now a days, Joey and I met through the popular online dating app, Tinder. I super-liked him (mostly because of his adorable red hair) and he swiped right for me. I messaged him soon after we matched because I just could not wait to talk to him. When we first met, Leia almost scared him away, but she warmed up to him almost as fast as I did. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of talking, I had to leave the country for an internship. However, that didn’t slow us down. Joey came to visit me in Italy and we professed our love one beautiful evening on the Tiber River in Rome - truly like a fairytale. When I got back from Italy, we spent so much time together that it just made sense for us to move in together. He proposed on August 13, 2019. I was so surprised that all I could say as he was getting down on one knee was “no.” Of course, once he actually asked, I said yes! But not before giving him a heartattack. 😅 We now want to invite our friends and family to join us on our wedding day to celebrate our love and union.
