One flew over the Pacific, and the other traveled across the Atlantic, we met in the *beautiful* city of Jacksonville, Florida. Our unique sense of humor connected us in a windowless team room. Time passed by, our love story was transcribed by countless airline miles and hours of phone conversations, from Miami to New York to Philadelphia. Nothing stopped us from goofing around and laughing together, let it be a strike and curfew in Colombia, or seven days backpacking without internet in Patagonia, or six months of quarantine together in a one-bedroom apartment. Since Marco Polo brought noodles to Italy 800 years ago, it was destined for the two of us to meet. We look forward to celebrating our love with you on June 11, 2022 by the beautiful Lake Como. From then on, our household will be full of Italian pasta, Chinese noodles, cat furs, and laughter.
