We met when we were just 16 & 17 years old working at an Italian deli called Dolce and Clemente's. We became friends first and as time went on our feelings grew. We are forever grateful that our paths crossed and we were able to build a beautiful life together. Forever thankful for love and fresh mozzarella.

Kevin proposed on Christmas Eve of 2019. We were rushing to get to our family parties when he insisted (I) Alyssa sit down and open one gift he got . And so I did... and it was an ornament with the date on it. Kevin had told me that he had "no idea what to get me this Christmas" so at first I thought its a reach but he tried. He insisted that I hang the ornament up before we go and when I turned around after hanging it Kevin was on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I said "are you serious?!" before saying "yes of course!". It was the perfect engagement in our home with our Brodie there watching and it made for the most special Christmas ever.
