The short story? One night Isabella prayed and a few months later God answered. Robert and Isabella met over social media, sharing the same interest in weightlifting. One common denominator after another, the pair continued to pursue each other, trusting the timing of life. After a year of flights back and forth between New Jersey and Florida, they decided it was time to make it official. Isabella was accepted to the University of Central Florida, where Robert was also pursuing his degree. And after seven adventurous, loving years together, they have built the life they have always dreamed of, with two rescue cats (Einstein & Milo) and two rescue dogs (Maverick & Eleanor) by their side. On their first trip to Italy in January 2019, Robert knew that was where he wanted to propose. The region meant so much to them that he knew there was no better place. Fast forward to May 2023, Robert kept his promise and asked Isabella to marry him on the tip of San Giorgio Maggiore Island in Venezia, Italy, on May 16, 2023. Not only does Italy offer so many beautiful wonders, from the food, to the wine and scenery, it also shares a sense of love and familiarity with the pair. Knowing this, they knew that this was where they would get married. And what better way to share the country that took their breath away than with all of you for their special day. And the long story? You’ll have to ask them!
