Catherine and John's love story began on an ordinary Monday morning at Seneca One in downtown Buffalo. In May 2022, fate brought John to the Odoo office while working remotely, where he visited his best friend, Nicholas Kosinski. John, a native of Rockville Centre, NY and Catherine met as soon as John walked into work that morning and Catherine skipped out of her desk to say hello to Nick's friend. John would try to catch Catherine in the lunchroom or at her desk to get to know her better that week but she always seemed to be chatting with one of her friends. That Thursday at the company happy hour, John asked Catherine for her number to stay in touch over the summer, and they did. John flew back to Buffalo later that fall to spend time with the girl he met in the office. They quickly bonded over drinks at High Violet, followed by dinner at the Left Bank on Buffalo's West Side. Among easy laughs and conversation, they discovered their shared values, love of cooking, and devotion to family and friends. By February 2023, John's heart led him back to Buffalo from his home in Austin, Texas, to be with Catherine. In the spring of 2024, John proposed to Catherine on a picturesque cliff overlooking the ocean in Montauk, marking the beginning of their forever.
