Who knew a quick scroll through Facebook Dating on February 9, 2024, would lead to forever? Six days later, on February 15, 2024, Marco and April met for their first date—happy hour at RT’s Restaurant in Alexandria, VA. The sparks flew immediately, but the night’s real excitement started in the parking lot, where April nearly tumbled head over heels! Unbeknownst to April, Marco was being his charmingly nosey self, peering out of the restaurant window, and saw the whole spectacle! Naturally, he let her get comfortable—and two or three drinks deep—before delivering the hilarious confession that he’d watched her trip and almost fall. It was the moment that sealed the deal; a perfect blend of genuine connection and side-splitting laughter. They quickly became inseparable, making plans for a second date just a week later and spending all their free time together. Over the last couple of years, they’ve filled our lives with travel, memories, and the joy of watching their families and friends become intertwined. In March 2025, they rang in both their birthdays (yes, they actually share the exact same birth-day) in Aruba, a trip where they conquered snorkeling for the first time together! Summer 2025, they took the big leap and moved in together. 2026 had also been monumental: they got engaged in the beautiful Bimini Bahamas in January & officially became homeowners in March. They continue to be thick as thieves, & their story just keeps getting better! Who knows what’s next!
