John and I met as people in Rockaway do...at a bar. We chatted here and there, both of us not looking for anything too serious, but fate had other plans. December 18, 2021, I invited him to come meet me at the Shilelagh Law Christmas Show at the Yacht Club, and we've been together ever since. I knew he was the one when he seamlessly fit in with my family, as if he was meant to be a part of it all along. I also knew he was the one when he turned down going out on New Years Day to stay in and watch Disney movies and drink espresso martinis with me on the couch in my tiny apartment. We moved in together 9 months later. Our guts were telling us it was the right move. Turns out, it really was. Fast forward 4 years, we are engaged! We are so excited to be on this journey, and so thankful to have all of our favorite people around us to celebrate it with!
