Deanna and Joe were set up through mutual friends (shout out to Jaclyn and David!) and went on their first date on February 11, 2018 at Treadwell Park in New York City. Despite their differences- Joe being a self-proclaimed "sustainability freak" and Deanna being a devoted Real Housewives fanatic- the conversation was easy and the night was fun! On her walk home, Deanna even found a $50 bill on the street, signaling more good luck to come. Fast forward a few dates, and Deanna realized that Joe was more than just "a nice guy" and a bad texter, he was the most genuine, thoughtful person with the biggest and kindest heart. Joe instantly fell in love with Deanna's intelligence, silliness, warmth, and compassion. Two years later, Joe proposed to Deanna on a cruise ship in front of a live audience and she said YES! The rest is history. Oh and by the way, Deanna loves Joe so much that she has even agreed to let Joe compost in their apartment...
