We’re getting married!

How does a boy from Pittsburgh meet a girl from New Jersey, you may be asking? Well, funny story! If you weren't aware, David travels a lot for work. He was scheduled to stay at a hotel in Newton, NJ for work. As luck would have it, the reservation was incorrect and at the last minute had to scramble to find a hotel in the area. The only motel available was a rather run down/sketchy place right next door to Maria's family's restaurant. Being that it was January, there were days without work due to snow which allowed him to spend quite a bit of time at the restaurant. Insert Maria here. On the first evening, David came in for dinner and sat at the bar. At this point, a local male patron was in the process of flirting with Maria and her response caused David's ears to perk. Dejected, the patron left only to have David comment to Maria on her resourcefulness regarding said patron. Her use of ironic sarcasm while maintaining class was an eye opening experience. This is the moment David fell in love with Maria's wit. Maria, on the other hand, thinking David was handsome, immediately noticed he wasn't from New Jersey. Through conversation, she fell in love with his class, kindness and most of all his intelligence. Joking she had always wanted to visit Pittsburgh, David immediately provided Maria with all of his contact information to act as a personal tour guide, as any good gentleman would. Smitten, Maria started to make plans to visit Pittsburgh. After many late night conversations and a one year long distance relationship, Boy moves to Jersey. Thank you Bella Italia!
