Although we went to middle school, high school, and college together (even hanging out with the same group of friends), we didn't really get to know each other until years after college graduation. After years of "liking" each other's pictures online, commenting, and chatting, Rocco FINALLY asked Holly on a date.
Just a week before Thanksgiving 2017, Rocco and Holly had their first date. Rocco told Holly he would cook her a nice dinner. He pulled out all the stops. He brought champagne, cheeses, charcuterie, and prepared an amazing Italian Dinner for the two of them. He had her at first Chicken Francese...The rest was history.
On Christmas Day 2018, Rocco surprised Holly with a trip to NYC and floor tickets to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden on Valentine's Day. (side note- Billy Joel is Holly's favorite and seeing him at MSG was on her bucket list so she flipped out a little bit when she got those tickets) On Valentine's day, just a few hours before the concert, Rocco took Holly to "Top of the Rock" in Rockefeller Center- saying he wanted to "see the city". They took the elevator up to the 70th floor observatory deck. As Holly was looking at the city, Rocco was behind her handing his phone to someone to take a video of the proposal. He told Holly that the woman was going to take a picture of them with the city in the background. As Holly was posing for the picture, Rocco got down and one knee and asked her to marry him. Shocked and almost speechless- She said YES!
Holly will be walking down the aisle to "Here, There, & Everywhere" by The Beatles. This was her parent's first dance song at their wedding in 1982. This version will be performed by Christopher Barbosa, electric violinist.
