It all started with a simple message on Instagram. On July 1, 2022, Anthony sent Christine a DM (Christine immediately thought Pittelli is a nice Italian last name) and neither of them knew that it would be the start of something so special. Just a few days later on July 10th, they had their first date in Long Beach, NY. They sat at the beach for hours, bonded over both liking bologna on a bagel, swam in the ocean and talked about everything. Anthony suggested they grab some food at a Cuban restaurant (Christine didn't know a single thing about Cuban food and Anthony quickly found out how picky of an eater she was). They ended their first date riding bikes on boardwalk to get ice cream which could not be a better way to end the day. On the 4th date, Christine sent a snapchat to her friends saying she is going to marry him (manifested that). It was a "When you know you know" moment. Anthony asked her to be his girlfriend that day. That summer felt like a movie filled with endless beach days, ice cream dates, meeting families and friends. Everything just clicked. They spent the next 3 years traveling, moving in together and growing as one. They have been dreaming of going to Italy since they started dating. They spent 2.5 weeks traveling all over, getting tattoos together and eating more pasta than you could imagine. Anthony proposed to Christine on June 25th, 2025 in the beautiful Capri. They can't wait to start their next chapter surrounded by their beloved family and friends in CANCÚN MEXICO! #PassporttoPittelli #CiaotoClyne
