Our forever starts here

It all began in May 2013, at Joe & Isabella's very first job at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Fresh-faced and figuring out the real world, they crossed paths and bonded over shared lunches, inside jokes, and the ups and downs of working at a busy theme park. From the start, they clicked—not as a couple just yet, but as friends who could always count on each other. Over the years, their friendship grew stronger. They stayed in each other’s lives throughout new jobs, college degrees, and plenty of adventures. In November 2017, something shifted (probably due to the fact that Joe was always able to make Isabella laugh harder than anyone else could). The couple finally realized that what they had was more than just friendship—it was something special. Fast forward to May 2023, in one of the most romantic cities in the world: Rome, Italy. At the iconic Trevi Fountain, with the sound of rushing water and the chatter of tourists, Joe got down on one knee... and of course Isabella said yes! Actually, she quoted the iconic Lizzie McGuire Movie and said, "This is what dreams are made of!" Joe & Isabella are beyond excited to start their next chapter together and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
