Stephanie and Vinnie met on the dating app Bumble and shortly after, agreed to get drinks at the River Bar in Somerville, MA. Drinks turned to dinner and Stephanie and Vinnie agreed on a Red Sox game as a future date. One Red Sox date became two as the game was rained out and rescheduled for the next day. Stephanie and Vinnie took the day off from work and enjoyed the day in the city. A few dates later, Stephanie and Vinnie found themselves at a local bar when it started to pour outside. They made conversation with two locals who knew the owner and were treated to fancy drinks. When Vinnie got up for a moment, one of the men asked Stephanie how long they had been dating. They were shocked when Stephanie replied that this was their 3rd or 4th date and they said it seemed like Stephanie and Vinnie had been dating for years. From there, Stephanie and Vinnie's relationship grew (enter Clyde), but that sense of ease and comfort was always there. Vinnie proposed to Stephanie at Granite Links on June 29, 2024, three years after their first date at the River Bar.
