Our Story
Kelly and Joe found each other in a somewhat unconventional way, through eHarmony. They communicated through email for several days and sat eagerly in front of their computers waiting for the next message to come through from that person they were increasingly excited to hear from. They initially connected through a love of technology and of animals. As shy individuals, they were both very quiet when they first met but knew there was a strong connection.
Their first date was to see a James Bond movie and their second date was soon to follow out for dinner and bowling. They started dating November 25th, 2008 and continued a long distance relationship for the next few years. They have been there for each other through the ups and downs and their families have welcomed a new member with open arms. While Joe comes from a very large Italian family, Kelly comes from a much smaller clan. They can't wait for the big day and to spend the rest of their lives together.
