Emily and Roemello met back in 2011 when Emily had transferred into New Dorp High School after spending her life in private catholic school and relied on Roemello for acclimation into public school life. The two quickly became best friends doing everything together from participating in their high school musical productions to seeing concerts and hanging out. Despite both being in separate relationships at the time, Emily and Roemello realized their friendship had grown into something more and the two officially began dating in 2013 on the onset of attending different colleges. 2 bachelors degrees, 3 career shifts, 3 vacations in different countries and one 80lb pitbull puppy later, Roemello proposed to Emily in June 2021 as the next step in their decade long friendship and more.
