Carlo and Stefanie’s story began in March 2023. Carlo met Stefanie’s sister, Natalie, at a mutual friend’s birthday, a coincidence made possible through Carlo’s old schoolmates, one of which also happens to be Natalie’s husband. Not long after, Carlo spotted Stefanie on Natalie’s Instagram and instantly knew he wanted to meet her. After a few months of quiet patience (and perhaps a little strategic timing), he finally reached out with a message. Within a week, they went on their first date, and just one month later, Carlo asked Stefanie to be his girlfriend. Things moved quickly, but everything felt effortless and right. Stefanie was drawn to Carlo’s young spirit and passion, while Carlo fell in love with Stefanie’s warmth and the sense of comfort she brought. In November 2024, surrounded by love and excitement for their future together, Carlo asked Stefanie to be his wife, marking the beginning of their next beautiful chapter.
