We're tying the knot! Join us on our journey from "me" to "we".

We first met in Charleston, South Carolina, while attending a five-week work training. Our first time spending a day together was unforgettable—we spent the morning exploring the aquarium and then shared fresh, raw oysters at a charming, lively spot in downtown Charleston. It was the perfect start to a connection that would grow into something truly special. After leaving Charleston, Madeline returned to Ohio, and Carmine went back to Florida. We went our separate ways, expecting our friendship to dwindle away. But from the moment we parted, we stayed in constant contact. It was easy to spend hours talking on the phone, and before we knew it, months had passed. One day, Carmine asked if Madeline had a specific weekend off and, if so, whether she’d be willing to pick him up from the airport. He was planning to fly out to see her that weekend. That visit marked the beginning of their relationship, and the rest, as they say, is history.
