Dinner and drinks at Anthonino's Taverna and a walk to Piazza Imo: that's where it all began. Stephanie and Will met on the dating app Hinge in May 2023. Since then they have shared many more dinners on the Hill together and further adventures in and outside of St. Louis. They quickly discovered they both have a love of exploring coffeeshops, visiting breweries, and traveling. Additionally, they have started a journey to visit every MLB stadium, as they cheer on their beloved Cardinals and Orioles respectively.

Along the way, Stephanie and Will have also shared with each other their passions. Stephanie got Will hooked on following the Oscars and Will showed Stephanie the joys of March Madness brackets and Ravens football. They've bonded over both being highly competitive whether in the MacKay Family NFL Survivor pool or over the game Five Crowns at the Walsh household.

Their journey took the next step when Will proposed at the same piazza they went to on their first date in November 2024. They are so excited to celebrate their wedding with everyone at St. Ambrose, overlooking Piazza Imo.
