As we move forward through this journey, we want to take a moment to thank all of you for your endless love and support. Whether it was shaping our childhood lives, helping us navigate teenage years, or taking part in our support system as adults, we appreciate you and your influence more than you know. Without you, there would be no us, and therefore you have given us the greatest gift we could ask for. Thank you and we love you!

Villa Erba is a 19th-century villa in Cernobbio, on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. Villa Erba was built by Luigi Erba, brother of the prominent businessman Carlo Erba (founder of the first Italian pharmaceutical company), to show off his wealth. After his death, it was inherited by his daughter Carla and was used by Carla's family, including her son Luchino Visconti. In 1986, it was bought by a public consortium to use as an exposition and congress center. It serves as a world-renown conference centre and was the filming location for Ocean’s Twelve in 2004 and Gwen Stefani's single "Cool"!

Our love story begins at a retro tiki restaurant turned lively bar in Venice, California. We bumped into each other waiting in line for drinks, and we spent the rest of the night talking until the bar closed. Although it would be a few months before our first date, we’ve had an amazing connection from the beginning!

Josh definitely pulled out all the stops to “woo” me. He didn’t necessarily plan a first date; he planned an entire weekend. On Saturday night, we went to Elephante in Santa Monica, CA where we had dinner - it ended up lasting for hours on account of amazing conversation. The next day, we went from brunch to the Rams NFC Championship Game to dinner. From that weekend forward, we’ve been attached at the hip!
