We Can't Wait to Celebrate With You!

Most people know 'our story' by now, but here are some details you may not know. We met October 2006... yes that's right... 15 years ago! We were in our sophomore year at URI, it was a holiday weekend. Dana's sorority sister asked for a ride home to Rockland, NY and she asked if her high school friend Paul could join as well. We officially met in the parking lot at the sorority house, which was directly across the street from Paul's fraternity house. Paul kindly offered to sit in the back seat, which Dana thought was REALLY kind since her car was a two door Celica and the 'back seat' was half of a seat (and Paul is 6'2"). We spent the next 4 hours together listening to our beloved club music and laughing at nonsense things. Paul was surprising his mom for her birthday that weekend, which Dana found to be really sweet. Paul went home and told his family a 'cute girl' dropped him off, and he was looking forward to seeing Dana again in a few days. Our second date was the 4 hour ride back to Rhode Island, this time Paul offered to drive! (this is where #Rhode24ever comes from, met in Rhode Island, on the road) As they say, the rest is history! Over the past 15 years our 'rhode24ever' has taken us all over, from renting houses in Manasquan, Belmar and Hunter for the season, camping, skiing, and countless beach vacations. We have lived in Hoboken for 10 years, Paul 'squatted' at Dana's apartment before settling down and purchasing their first home together in 2016 in Hoboken, and added Rhody to the family in 2019. We can't wait to continue our journey together and we want to thank each and every one of our family and friends for being by our side. We cherish all of the great memories we have with you!
