We are true believers that our paths have crossed throughout our entire lives . I grew up surrounded by the Palmieri family as Johns cousin was great friends with my older brother Eric and I was lucky enough to spend many years of my childhood with his other cousin Cyndi. We grew up very close to each other , spent summers at the same lake and went to the same high school and yet never formally introduced. It was the spring of 2021 that John reached out to me on social media that our story continued….. hours on the phone building a friendship. A first date that we will never forget and many many adventures . I will always say that we began our forever the moment we shared the first “I love you “. But it became official on February 11, 2023 when John proposed with the most beautiful sunset looking over us.
