We are so excited to share that we were legally married on December 8, 2023, at the Supreme Court of Canada with our parents present in an intimate ceremony. Pictures are in the Gallery tab :) We met in early December 2020, so decided to celebrate by getting married around the same time. Ultimately, we decided on December 8, which is an important date for Alessia and her family. For those who don't know, Eric proposed using a ring given to Alessia's paternal grandmother Rosa, in the 1960s by her husband, Giuseppe. After living with Alessia and her family for 15 years, Rosa passed away on December 8, 2014; so naturally, being able to wear her nonna's ring after 9 years has been incredibly meaningful for Alessia. Although we did not intentionally choose December 8th with this additional significance in mind, it was an added gift to be able to spend time with Alessia's parents that weekend.... especially since we know Rosa would have loved Eric solely based on his appetite, particularly for pasta.

We met in early December 2020 just a few weeks after Eric moved to New York City. In true COVID fashion, we had our first date in Central Park and kept our masks on until the very end of our walk.

We made it official in March 2021; and after Eric received his acceptance to Cambridge University for his LLM, we decided to give long distance a try! Eric moved to England in October 2021, and following his graduation in June 2022, he returned to New York in September to join Alessia and her cat Gemma in a new apartment downtown!

We got engaged on July 13, 2023, in New York City, after Eric created an elaborate scheme and successfully pulled off the surprise. After convincing Alessia there was a work event scheduled at a hotel by the waterfront in Brooklyn months prior, Eric proposed on the river walk in front of the Brooklyn Bridge. (Scroll down to see a picture of us on the Brooklyn Bridge in September 2021 just before Eric left for Cambridge!) The surprise was so well planned that Alessia's first question following the initial excitement was whether or not the event was real, so needless to say, he nailed it.
