Ever heard the phrase, “when something is meant to be, it finds a way?” That's exactly what happened for us in January 2020. We met at Papa Vs in Verona, while engaging in a conversation with a mutual friend. Two weeks later we ran into each other again at the same location and we engaged in another conversation. While we initially didn’t know where the connection would lead, something sparked between us right away. As we spent more time together, we realized just how much we complemented each other—laughing together, supporting one another, and sharing our dreams in life. On July 6, 2024, our love story unfolded in the most beautiful way, and the proposal was the perfect reflection of that—Chandell asked my grandma for her blessing before turning to me with the most heartfelt question. It was simple, personal, and truly unforgettable. As we prepare to marry, we’re filled with gratitude for the love we share and the incredible memories we’ve created. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with you!
