we're getting married, yay!

Ricky and Rossana first met in 2010 at their mutual friend's going away party. Rossana was interning at Yankee Stadium and planned on returning to Hofstra for her MBA. Ricky was finishing up his bachelor's degree while working at a restaurant in Long Island. That first night, they shared a few beers, a few dances, and great conversation. Although the timing wasn't right in 2010, they didn't forget about each other. Ricky would always ask about that girl, Ro. A few years later, it was Ro who was asking about that cute guy Ricky from the going away party. Later that day, Ricky found a message in his inbox from Ro that simply read, "Hey there!". They exchanged messages, then phone calls, then went on a few dates. Things clicked; now 2 apartments and 1 home in the suburbs later, their wedding day is fast approaching.

Ricky proposed to Ro on June, 10 2016 during a weekend getaway to a secret destination. He didn't tell her where they were going, just what to pack and when to be ready. They arrived at Cape Cod and after dinner on the first night, they went to Gray's Beach to catch the sunset. They got there just as the sky was a perfect mix of purple and orange. As the crowds were clearing, Ricky and Ro walked down a seemingly endless pier until they found themselves alone. Ricky pointed to something in the distance as a distraction and, with Ro's back turned, he took a knee. When she turned back, he asked and she said yes.
