We met at the start of 2021, when the entire world was in lockdown. Despite living right across the street from each other in Philadelphia, it took a dating app for our paths to cross. No surprise to all, Chris wasn't a man of many words through the app but asked me on our first date to Rosy's Taco Bar. I remember our first date being anything but awkward, and I was questioning why a guy this seemingly normal was on dating apps. As the days and months passed and we were continuing to get to know each other, our lives seemed to blend seamlessly. Chris only took short 9 months to make our relationship official, but I remember telling my sister and friends that he was worth the wait. In 2022, we visited Positano and the Amalfi Coast and fell in love with the gorgeous scenery, the delicious food and the dolce vita way of life. It was then that we realized how much beauty there is to see in the world and made us passionate about traveling together. The Amalfi Coast holds such a special place in our hearts, and we are so blessed, thankful and excited that we get to share this place with our loved ones. We are so excited for this day, and it means the world to us having our family and closest friends make the trip to Italy to celebrate our wedding! Thank you all for the sacrifices being made to celebrate us and our love and we hope you fall in love with Italy just as we have! Love, Chris and Rachel
