Our story began as 18 year old teenagers. We met the first day of college when we were just freshman moving in early to start our soccer preseason. We lived down the hall from each other in our dorm building and spent endless hours together, which we now later found out built the foundation of our relationship. We quickly bonded over being New Yorkers and flirted/argued over which island was the better island, Staten Island or Long Island. Despite us both being from New York, it took going to a small school in Jersey City for our paths to finally across. We immediately started dating and spent the next 4 years making endless memories at school, spending every single second together. In 2022, we both graduated with our under graduate degrees. Stephanie moved back home and started her nursing career and Tim stayed in Jersey City for a 5th year to earn his masters degree. Tim graduated with his masters and then recieved a call to join New York’s Finest Police Department. Stephanie continued to work at home as a nurse, while Tim entered the police academy. Once Tim graduated and became a police Officer the rest became history! We started to look into homes to buy together. We found the most perfect condo in Wantagh, Long Island. Just as we were closing on the condo Timothy asked Stephanie to marry him. And here we are, 7 years later...planning our wedding!
