It all started 25 years ago. Mary Joy and Arturo worked at DisneyQuest, which was located in downtown Chicago. Arturo taught people how to draw Disney characters, while Mary Joy served as one of the ticketing agents. Whenever they worked the same shift, they made it a point to have lunch together. They even volunteered at one of Disney's charity events. On the last day of DisneyQuest, the company hosted a goodbye party for all employees. Arturo recorded many highlights with his camcorder, and they later discovered that Mary Joy was featured in most of his videos. He even captured a moment of himself clocking out for the very last time, showing his work ID card, which had her picture on it. Arturo hinted at his feelings for her by giving her the lyrics to a song, "The Promise" by When in Rome. After DisneyQuest closed its doors, they went their separate ways. However, in 2022, they reconnected through Facebook. Mary Joy became a wine club member at Cooper's Hawk, and once a month, they enjoy their wine tasting privileges followed by dinner. Arturo chose Cooper's Hawk as the location for his proposal, and it will also be where their wedding reception takes place. Although they both grew up in Chicago, Mary Joy is a North Sider while Arturo hails from the South Side. Fortunately, they are not baseball fanatics! Arturo has never been married and does not have children of his own, but on October 12th, he will gain an instant family.
