We're getting Married!

Max and Theresa had their first date on August 9th, 2023, at Watershed Restaurant in Columbus, OH. They immediately connected. Max was struck not only by Theresa's beauty, but also her great personality and kind nature. Theresa reached out to her mom afterwards and told her she missed Italy for the BEST reason and She will marry Max. In the coming days and months, Max and Theresa shared countless amazing moments –moving in together, bringing home their new puppy, Murphie, traveling together, spending time with each other’s families, and most importantly, enjoying each other’s company. Theresa’s first-date premonition became a reality on February 1, 2025, when Max proposed. He surprised her after a day out with her friend Alexis with a home filled with decorations (it should be noted he had a lot of help in that department), their favorite song playing, and a ring waiting for her. They had a celebration that night at Third and Hollywood in Columbus. Now, Max and Theresa are extremely excited to do life together and start a family. They are thrilled to celebrate their union with friends and family on Sept 19, 2026. A heartfelt thank you to each of you for taking the time to celebrate with us, and especially those who must travel to be here. They both feel lucky to have found each other—and to have such a wonderful circle of friends and family to share their happiness with. “Our greatest gift is not just finding each other, but having all of you to share it with.”
