TRICIA + LOUIS STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | SACRED HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH | OPAL SANDS RESORT | CLEARWATER BEACH, FL

LOVE STORY

Their story began in 2014, during their first year of law school in Boston, Massachusetts. Tricia and Louis occasionally exchanged glances across a room with 100+ other students. Louis sat in the last row on the left side of the room, and Tricia sat in the first row on the right side. Tricia and Louis spoke for the first time after their Property Law midterm in October. They learned more about each other one Friday, after class, when their section mates gathered at Sidebar, a bar around the corner from their law school. Tricia and Louis connected after learning they were both native New Yorkers and shared similar morals and values.

Once their first-year finals had passed, Louis asked Tricia on a first date to the Museum of Fine Arts, remembering that Tricia loved art and spoke about taking an Italian Art and Architecture class in college. Tricia learned that Louis was a history major and was so impressed by the other side she saw of him.

That summer, Louis went back to New York for an internship opportunity in Manhattan while Tricia remained in Boston for her internship. When Louis completed his internship, he returned to Boston and asked Tricia to go to a rooftop pool she had wanted to try. Louis sent her a Snapchat of the Boston skyline asking, "Will you be my girlfriend? There is no better night." Tricia said yes, of course!

Tricia and Louis continued to strive and thrive in their relationship and careers, which brought them closer together. They shared many of the same goals and drive to succeed. Their partnership was founded on mutual respect, understanding, and support.

The following year, Tricia needed emergency oral surgery and was hospitalized the day before their Commercial Law final. Louis stayed by her side in her recovery room while studying for the exam. A month later, Tricia’s mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and Louis was unwavering in his love, patience, and understanding. Tricia's mom, unfortunately, passed away at the end of the summer. She always embraced Louis and told her nurse that they would get married one day. It meant so much to have her blessing and unconditional support.

Tricia and Louis graduated from law school in 2017 and decided to stay in Boston following graduation to pursue job opportunities and continue to build on their relationship. On the sixth anniversary of their first date, after delays due to the pandemic, Louis asked Tricia to marry him on the beach in Tulum, Mexico, which will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

After accomplishing many professional and personal goals and exploring the beautiful, historic city of Boston, Tricia and Louis decided to embark on a new adventure. In 2022, they decided to purchase a home together in Tampa, Florida, and begin the next chapter in their lives.
