Joe and Monica met their sophomore year at Salisbury University in the spring of 2015. As their social circles got closer throughout the last two years of college, they started to get closer as well. Joe first brought Monica to meet his family at the beach in Ocean City, MD memorial day weekend 2018 just after Monica finished with her communications degree. They spent the rest of the summer together with their first date at Nacho Mama's for a hubcap and dinner at the Oriole's game - a classic Baltimore first date - followed by days spent on the South River riding jetski's, hanging out with friends, and culminating in the Kenny Chesney concert where Joe finally asked Monica to be his girlfriend on August 22, 2018. Over the last five years, Joe and Monica have celebrated Joe's college graduation (Dec. 2018), Joe's rapid success in his career (2019), moving in to their first place in Canton (May 2021), adopting their first cat, Ari (July 2021), Monica's first time leaving the country during their trip to Punta Cana (Feb. 2022), adopting their second cat, Chance (Aug. 2022), Monica's master's degree (May 2023), and countless other milestones with their friends and families over the years. Joe and Monica are so excited to bring their families together as they embark on this next chapter of their lives.
