Our Story
It all started with a swipe right on Tinder. I was 18, just starting my journey in hair school, and he was a college student at nearby Florida Gulf Coast University. One of our first dates was at the botanical gardens, where we both pretended not to be nervous while secretly wondering if the other person was a “catfish”. Once I learned Vinny was an Italian New Jersey native I knew he would fit in just fine with my family.
Fast forward, a few years of countless adventures, and many bad haircuts (don’t ask), he brought us full circle by proposing at the very same botanical gardens where it all began. Now, we’re planning to say “I do” surrounded by all our loved ones on April 18, 2026. Our cat Daisy will be supervising from home while silently judging our dance moves and flower choices.
From a swipe right to a garden stroll to forever, we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!
