Welcome family & friends!

The couple met at a bar called Napper Tandy's in Joe's hometown, Bay Shore. Courtney was out with a friend from college and Joe was out with his friends from home. Courtney ran into someone she knew and the two started chatting. During the conversation someone in the group this person was with had caught Courtney's eye. She asked if he would introduce her to the handsome gentleman in the white long sleeve polo shirt and worn out Yankee cap standing in the corner of the bar with "the boys". He replied, "Sure! That's Joey Volavka he's a great guy". Courtney and Joey stayed at the bar talking for hours until closing time. The pair exchanged phone numbers before parting ways that night. About one week later they went on their first date at Del Fuego in Babylon (Joey got the fajitas and Courtney ordered tacos - very on brand) and the rest is history!
