How ToJo met: “Love and Volleyball” Tony and Jo met through their mutual friend, Cesi, at the Intel volleyball courts. After a few sets, there was something brewing between them. Jo decided to invite Tony to her company party at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, where Tony gave Jo the infamous '16 size softball bruise. Somehow she still liked him and after weeks of talking, Tony asked Jo to be his girlfriend! Not long after they decided to live together and started traveling, from Hawaii all the way to Europe. Also attending many, MANY weddings of friends and families. They have also played/still play volleyball together and have met many great friends along the way. The Proposal: One of their most recent trips was to Las Vegas, for Jo's birthday. It started out great, but then started to go downhill (in Jo's eyes). Flight was delayed 30 minutes, then delayed some more while on the tarmac, and then the flight was cancelled! After booking a different flight, then moving dinner reservations, they finally made it to Las Vegas (3.5 hours later!) There was no time to change, they arrived at Caesars Palace, little did Jo know, her sister, Jeanne, knew what was happening, she was the one who picked up the ring and had the ring with her when she picked them up! Then handed it over to Tony as Jo got out of the car. Tony and Jo took a picture in front of the fountain, with the ring in his pocket! After having dinner and cocktails, they go back to the room for some cake and pictures, so she thought! Tony wanted to take ONE more picture. Jo's fixing her balloons and as she turns to tell Tony where to stand, he's down on one knee and asks Jo "Will you marry me?!" Jo's answering yes while crying and shaking her head, but after 15 minutes of crying happy tears, she's finally able to fully say, "YES, FINALLY!!!" #ToJo #CruzinBrowntheAisle
