Joe and Mimi met at a Christmas party in 2019 and hit it off, but Joe forgot to ask for her number! Luckily, they ran into each other again in June 2020 while on a COVID walk in the neighborhood. Seizing this second chance, he asked his mom to ask Mimi's NJ mom to share her contact. With the power of 2 moms, he got her number and asked if she'd go on a hike with him! However, Mimi kept insisting she didn't want to date even though Joe wooed as hard as he could - treating her to unlimited Wawa hoagies and incredible dates. Finally, after 8 months, Mimi finally acknowledged they're an item, releasing Joe from purgatory at last. Thank you Joe for your immeasurable patience :) Fast forward ~5 years and Joe proposes on the mountain they hiked on their first date! ❤︎
