Naturally, we’d like to thank two people - Stefano’s Thea Despina and Peggy’s best friend, Dionysia, for how this all got started... Stefano grew up in Dubuque, Iowa while Peggy spent her childhood in Cleveland, Ohio. Stefano visited Cleveland often, as he had family members living there. One Sunday, at Saint Demetrios in Rocky River, Despina pulled the three Kachevas boys aside and introduced them to the three Giavroutas siblings. Despina thought it would be a great opportunity for the Kachevas boys to meet a few young Greeks at the church. As the introduction occurred, Peggy rolled her eyes. It seemed pointless to her to meet these random boys, whom she thought she’d never see again. That was in 2010. Fast forward to 2013... Peggy was on her way to pick up her brother from GOYA basketball practice at St. Demetrios. Dionysia begged Peggy to hurry into the church and grab her brother, as they were late to meet up with friends. After enough nagging, Peggy ran into the gym and noticed Stefano from the corner of her eye - she didn't think much of it. Not too long after, Stefano messaged Peggy and they began to talk more and more every day. He knew how to win her over... as a first date, he asked if she wanted to grab sushi and go to a Cavs game together. With a little persuasion from Dionysia, Peggy said 'yes'. And the rest, as they say, is history...
