Catherine and Filippo met in the fall of 2019 through a shared circle of friends connected by their siblings. From the very first time they met, Filippo felt there was something special about Catherine and was drawn to her. As their friendship grew, Filippo began to pursue Catherine even though she wasn’t looking for a relationship. Through many group hangouts and conversations, she grew closer to Filippo and slowly let her guard down. What started as casual friendship quickly turned into something deeper, a love that felt effortless and meant to be. Catherine and Filippo grew together in their faith, building their relationship on a strong foundation rooted in Jesus. Their love for Him not only strengthened their bond but continues to guide their relationship in every season. Over time, their families also grew close, which has been one of their greatest blessings. Five years later, Filippo asked Catherine to marry him, and she said yes without hesitation. Today, their love continues to grow, and they cannot wait to begin this next chapter of life together as husband and wife; with Jesus at the center of it all.
