We first locked eyes on a sunny summer afternoon at the hip Back Bay eatery, Cafeteria. After some playful banter, Giulia bravely shared her phone number. When Kevin's travel-filled summer ended, the stars aligned for our first real date. We fell in love that night on a rooftop overlooking the Charles River telling stories and laughing until our sides hurt.

A deal breaker for Kevin was that his future wife must share a love of his hometown's pride, Kimball's Ice Cream. Luckily, that was not an issue for Giulia and her love rivaled Kevin's. When it came time to propose, Kevin could think of no sweeter way to ensure success than to bury the ring in a quart of peanut butter cup ice cream. On a Friday afternoon, Giulia returned from work and Kevin invited her to their back deck of their South End apartment for a surprise. Giulia first thought it was just the treat of the ice cream but was more shocked when Kevin got down on one knee. After some excited moments and the first calls to family, Kevin whisked his new fiancé away for a celebratory weekend on Martha's Vineyard.
