Fabi and Peter's love story began in Hoboken on March 2, 2019. After attending the Hoboken St. Patrick’s day celebration, drinking all day, and splitting an entire pizza pie, it was love at first sight. Their first official date followed a few weeks later at 10th and Willow, where Peter was not fazed one bit by Fabi drowning her buffalo wings in blue cheese, and Fabi had Peter try his first martini (which he despised). After two months of casual dating (aka spending every second together from Friday afternoon until Sunday night) Peter finally asked Fabi to be his girlfriend on May 10th 2019. Just as things were falling into place, as they were starting to get to know each other’s family and friends, and in the process of planning their first vacation together, the world had other ideas. On Friday evening March 14th, 2020, Peter went over to Fabi’s apartment with a change of clothes, and his work laptop, thinking that with everything going on in the news about some “coronavirus” there was a chance that maybe he might end up working from home a few days the next week. By Saturday morning, it was clear that everything was going to be shut down for a while. Peter ended up staying at Fabi’s apartment indefinitely with nothing but what he brought with him, and a few days later Fabi’s brother Vincent joined them. They spent each day working from home and each night with a vodka soda watching between 4-10 episodes of Jersey Shore. After over three weeks, Fabi finally went to stay with her parents, leading to an unexpected “medium-distance” relationship between Jersey City and Montclair. After nine months of navigating the challenges of a pandemic, with each time seeing each other having to include planning for a before & after quarantine, they ended up moving in together in Hoboken in May of 2021. Two years later, they decided to grow their family by adopting their beloved rescue dog Blossom (Blossy for short). Then, in October 2023, they embraced a new adventure and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where they are now building a new life together. In between their big move and today, the two took a trip to Italy with Fabi’s family for her brother’s wedding. On July 5th 2024, after a boat day on the Amalfi Coast, at a restaurant with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea, Peter got down on one knee and popped the question. Through minutes of inaudible sobbing Fabi let out a muffled yes! This is just the beginning of many years and memories together to come. They are so excited to have all of you attend the celebration of their love in September!
