Victoria and Joey’s story began in November 2022 at Dear Maud in Hoboken, NJ. Victoria was out with two friends for some food and drinks when Joey and his friend happened to grab seats next to them at the bar. By chance, Joey’s friend knew one of Victoria’s friends, and soon enough, everyone was chatting. Eventually, their friends headed out, but Victoria and Joey stayed behind, talking and sharing drinks late into the night. Two weeks later, they went on their first date, which turned into an all-day affair—starting with lunch, then watching the World Cup, planning date two, grabbing dinner, and ending with a movie. After that, they started hanging out regularly, and here they are today. In July 2024, Joey proposed at sunset on a boat in Cinque Terre, Italy. Now, they’re excited to start building their life together and looking forward to everything the future holds. Today, they live in a cozy apartment in Westwood, NJ, with their German Shepherd, Nena.
