Lindsey met Joe's cousin, Angie, in dental hygiene school. They immediately became friends and had a lot of study groups together. In September of 2015, Angie mentioned she would love to introduce her to her cousin, Joe because they had such a similar sense of humor. Lindsey wasn't into the idea and it was brushed off. Angie was celebrating her birthday and invited Joe to go out for a few drinks. Joe responded "I am tired," but would think about it. Meanwhile, Angie also texted her dental hygiene school group chat asking her friends to come. Lindsey in her true sarcastic nature responded "ME!" to which Angie responded "OMG Really!?" Lindsey could sense the excitement and felt bad telling her she was being sarcastic. Lindsey responded "yes" and drove out to Tap Room in Massapequa to celebrate. Joe decided to come after all and when he arrived Joe and Lindsey did not stop talking. They spent all night laughing, quoting movies, and enjoying each other's company. At the end of the night, Joe walked her to her car and asked for her number. Three days later they went out for dinner and bowling, and the rest was history. Joe and Lindsey grew more and more in love and Joe took on the role of stepdad to Lindsey's beautiful children, Maddox and Bryson. The four have grown as a family built on love, respect, and sarcasm.
