Our story began in January 2018, and it was truly love at first swipe. Like most relationships these days, we met on an app called Bumble and immediately hit it off while talking about our experiences traveling around Italy (a place that was - and continues to be - near and dear to our hearts). On our first date, Heather knocked Nick off his feet with her love for Duke's Grocery burgers, wine, and wanderlust. Our story continued when Nick spent the summer in Rome for work - which certainly put our relationship to the test! Not only did this give Heather an excuse to travel (joking... kind of), but it made us both realize that we have something special - no matter how far apart we are. Upon Nick's return home, we've gone on countless adventures together, spent lots of time in Connecticut and Ohio visiting with family and friends, enjoyed Sinatra Sunday pasta nights - all while raising our cute pup, Mucca (moo-ka, means "cow" in Italian). In July 2019, we went on a trip with Heather's family to Italy's Amalfi Coast where we got engaged on a private beach in Positano! While planning our wedding, we realized that there was one constant theme throughout our love story... our love for ITALY! We cannot wait to tie the knot and spend time with our friends and family in our favorite place!
