It all began on a crisp October day in 2021 when fate intervened, and their paths crossed in the most unexpected of ways. Introduced by their dear friends Ari and Perri Sason, they found themselves caught up in the whirlwind of a Football Sunday. Little did they know, this chance encounter would set the stage for a love story like no other. Perri, with her unparalleled charm, took on the role of matchmaker extraordinaire, painting a vivid picture of Victoria's vibrant personality and Italian roots. Ari emphatically shared "she's got a nonna!". Intrigued by her success in business, her deep-seated family values, and her undeniable passion for life, Michael couldn't resist the opportunity to meet this captivating woman.

And so, their journey began at a swanky cocktail bar in SOHO, where the sparks flew amidst the clinking of glasses and the soft glow of candlelight. From the moment they met, it was clear that Victoria was anything but shy, her warmth and charisma drawing Michael in like a moth to a flame. As the night unfolded, laughter filled the air as Victoria effortlessly looped Michael into conversations with two older women, seeking their sage advice on matters of the heart. It was a moment of spontaneity and connection that would set the tone for the adventures that lay ahead.

With the evening still young, Michael whisked Victoria away to one of his favorite dive bars, Toad Hall, where the magic truly took hold. In a moment of pure serendipity, they found themselves standing side by side, belting out a heartfelt duet of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's "Shallow," lost in the music and the electricity that crackled between them. And as the final notes faded into the night, they shared a kiss that felt like the beginning of something truly extraordinary. Fast forward almost three years later, and their love has only grown stronger with each passing day.
