Ricky & Elissa met in 2012, just two servers working at a catering hall. Neither of them expected to be where they are today. 

 In 2016, Ricky and Elissa became closer than ever— always going on various adventures together around NYC. Then, in July of 2016, Ricky picked up Elissa from work, he dropped her off, and as she was putting her keys into the door, he ran out of the car and decided to profess his undying love to Elissa on her porch steps (although if you ask Ricky, that’s not how the story goes lol). They always had a running joke that he would propose with a blue ring pop. 

 Fast forward to January of 2020, they found out Elissa was pregnant only a month and a half before the pandemic hit— putting all of Ricky’s plans on hold. It was a bit of a tough year, Elissa was no longer working as a nanny due to being pregnant during Covid, Ricky was starting his first year as a cop, and neither of them knew what the future had in store. 

 Then, at a party for Amelia’s 2nd Birthday, Ricky popped the question— using a blue ring pop ringbox!! And thus, a new chapter for them begins. 

 Ricky & Elissa are so excited for this new chapter, and for their family and friends to celebrate with them!
