Some love stories begin with a grand moment, ours started with five hours of distance, countless road trips, and a halfway point at a Shell gas station in Elyria. Gia and Connor’s journey began on April 20, 2018, when they took a leap of faith on long distance before even meeting in person. But from the moment they finally did, they knew it was love at first sight. For five years, they navigated the miles between Ohio and Michigan, turning quick stops and halfway meetups into cherished memories. After finally breaking the distance, months later on May 5, 2024, Connor asked Gia the easiest question she’d ever answered: "Will you marry me?" She said yes, of course! Now, after years of love, patience, and a little bit of highway mileage, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on June 6, 2026. Our families and friends have been our greatest support, and we’re so excited to share this next chapter with you!
