Sooo, that date ^ they technically made it up! The couple based their anniversary date on the first Instagram picture they posted together as a couple. Dante also technically didn’t ask Bella to be his girlfriend either! But he sure couldn’t wait to ask her to be his wife. The two met in 2015 in Queens, NY in a basketball court a block down from the beach. From the moment Dantes eyes spotted the new girl from Brooklyn, he couldn’t take them off her. Immediately they started talking and hung out a lot after that day. Bella lived 7 blocks away from Dante. Bella along with her mother Janet would often catch Dante riding his ATV up and down her block, somehow it always seemed to “break down” at her doorstep… which always led Bella down her stoop to go see Dante. After they were done chatting it always seemed to start right up just in time for him to go home. They remained close friends for two years even after Bella moved back to Brooklyn, enjoying their time on the beach, hanging out together or with friends. One day early in the year of 2017 Bella ended up skipping school to hangout with Dante and the two never left each other’s sides after that. Bella would take up to 2 hour bus/ train rides everyday after school from Bay Ridge to Queens just to be able to spend time with Dante.. Eventually, Dante got his first car and that 2 hour bus ride turned into a 30 min ride to get over the Marine park bridge to pick up Bella from school everyday. More time together was their therapy. The two were truly inseparable. Dante and Bella have now been together for 7 years, moving out of NYC in 2019 a few days after Bella’s 18th birthday up to the Adirondacks to start a new beginning. Dante asked Bella to be his wife in 2023 a few months after opening his first business in their small town & the two couldn’t be happier together. The couple will say their “I do’s” on their 8th anniversary and start their second new beginning… and so the adventure begins.
