See you in the city! ❤

We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party (thank you, Emma and Chris!). Sab (Sam? Sammy? Sabatino?) was supposedly waiting for the bathroom when he ended up standing with me and my friends. For someone who claimed he needed to go, he never actually left… and we ended up talking there the entire night. We bonded immediately over being Italian and started bragging about our families. Shared stories about growing up with really loving parents & grandparents and very close (yet slightly chaotic) siblings & cousins. From there, the conversation never really slowed down. We talked about college, work, music ... including the moment one of my friends announced that I was a die-hard Swiftie with “basic taste.” Sab just smiled and said his favorite Taylor Swift song was Love Story. As I was getting ready to leave, he asked for my number and said he'd like to take me to a restaurant in the city, L’Aquila. And the next day, he actually texted with plans. By that weekend, we were on our first date where Sab showed up blasting Love Story. We’ve been together ever since. Because sometimes, love finds you in the most unexpected place. Like next to a bathroom. ❤
