«We like to call it “love at first slice” because we met at a pizza restaurant I used to work at and us both being Greek we just instantly clicked. We’ve been together for about 7 years and December of 2023 on Christmas Eve while both of our families were together, he got down on one knee and proposed me. I couldn’t have been any happier especially being able to share one of our biggest moments with our family. It was just perfect.»
