It all started on August 1, 2023 when Greg met Katy at Cafe Paulette in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

On that day, he knew instantly that his life would never be the same. Before then, Greg's life was a lonesome dark husk of an existence, bereft of any laughter or joy. Katy brought into Greg's life a great light which could not be extinguished. All of Greg's friends and family immediately liked Katy so much more then they ever could muster for Greg.

When Katy first laid eyes on Greg she, for the first time, knew what true beauty was to behold. His perfect hairline, stunning blue eyes, and impeccable style would have been more than enough to win her heart, yet, his witty repartee, striking intelect, and wry humor brought forth a complete package which she could nary deny.

After 18 months of laughter, worldly adventures, and general galivanting, Greg knew Katy was his forever love.

It was then, on a cold, rainy January 31st in NYC's Seaport that Greg put one knee on the crusty floor of Jeremy's Ale House -- at great personal risk to his health -- to propose to his soul person. The diamond, once unsheathed, blinded several patrons and friends who were baring witness.

And that brings us to today, where we have questionably determined it possible to plan an international expedition for 100+ of our favorite people in less than five months, and made the assumption that you all will probably just make it happen. Given this truncated timeline, we can pretty much guarantee a squirelly, but probably pretty good time. Thanks in advance for being an integral part of our love story & joining us on our apulian adventure.

Definitely written by Greg.
