God brought us together on the blue shores of the famous Cape May, New Jersey in the summer of 2016. Mary was getting ready for her first day of work and Rocco was setting out to find a fishing spot for the summer when we first met. Rocco was just about to head out when he was introduced to Mary by a mutual friend. However, it wasn’t until later in the summer on Rocco’s birthday that we started a friendship. One night while Rocco was eating alone Mary approached him and they found that they both had a common favorite movie; the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We talked late into the night which would become the norm for the remainder of the summer. After that summer, we reconnected at the beginning of the school year. It was not long before we went on our first date and the rest is history!
On January 2, 2019 after an afternoon (diversion) at The Plaza hotel with both of their Moms and Rocco’s brother Anthony, Rocco took Mary for a carriage ride through Central Park. The carriage pulled up at Cherry Hill fountain and Rocco nervously searched for a place to “take pictures.” On the shore of The Lake, Rocco took a knee and asked the most important question of his life. If we remember right Mary exclaimed “Yes! Yes! A million times, yes!” (Rocco was relieved). We are excited to have you share in our joy on the day of our Marriage.
