How Our Story Began

Officially boyfriend and girlfriend! Here we are on a weekend trip to Venice with Stefano's brother and sister-in-law.

  1. 'Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (Italy, that is)," Stefano and I met. He is the best person that I have ever known and I fell in love with him because he treated me better than any other boy had ever treated me. Stefano and I have actually known each other our whole lives. We were born 9 months apart in the same Italian hospital and we went to church and primary together. When I was about 7 years old my family moved to America and Stefano and I saw each other again only when he came to the States to prepare for his mission in Greece at the MTC. We exchanged one letter and then, again, forgot about each other until 2 years had passed and we met up at a YSA New Year's weekend trip in Verona. I had just arrived in Italy to do a 3-month internship in Milano right before I was to graduate from BYU. Throughout that weekend, Stefano was really sweet to me and always stayed by my side, "in case I had any difficulties with the language," of course. Actually, Stefano thought that I was pretty cute and he wanted to get to know me better. I felt the same about him and, after we got home from the trip, his family invited me to stay at their house for every weekend of my internship giving us time to get better acquainted. They must have suspected young love blooming!
