We got engaged in late 2019 and started planning for a big Italian Wedding. Sadly, those dreams were crushed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Given our particular circumstances, we could not wait to get married in order to continue our lives together. The ceremony was held at Giulia's hometown city hall and the only people who attended were their witnesses: Giulia's 97-year-old grandpa and Giulia's best friend of 28 years. Luckily, we all kept our health during these tragic times and we are finally able to celebrate together!
We met at a house party in Chicago through mutual friends. Giulia was the first one to notice Bryan across the room and boldly started chatting him up. Conversation led to exchange of numbers and the rest is history! Through the years, we moved in together in Chicago, adopted our dog CJ, both attended grad school, changed jobs, moved to Italy, survived a pandemic, and the best is yet to come!
