Tony and Kate’s story began with a shared love of food.

Tony first met Kate as his Dietitian through a wellness program at his workplace. During their very first session, there was an immediate connection. Conversation came easily, filled with laughter, jokes, and a natural chemistry that neither of them could ignore.

Over the months that followed, their regular appointments gave them the chance to get to know each other better. By the time Tony’s program ended, it was clear that what had started as professional conversations had grown into something more. They soon began dating and quickly became inseparable.

Like any great love story, theirs faced challenges along the way. There were moments that tested their resolve, but no matter the obstacle, they always found their way back to one another eventually realizing a life apart simply wasn’t an option.

In 2025, Tony proposed to Kate at a breathtaking overlook near Hood River, Oregon. As they began dreaming about their wedding, ideas were tossed around until Tony casually suggested getting married in Italy. The idea captured their hearts, and from that moment on, there was no looking back.

It’s only fitting that a love of food brought them together and that they will celebrate their marriage in one of the world’s great culinary destinations. Surrounded by family, friends, incredible food, and unforgettable memories, they can’t wait to begin the next chapter of their story together.
