Noelle and Ethan met at DiBruno Brothers, a specialty grocery store in Philadelphia. One day, Noelle applied for a coffee bar position that would change her life forever. All she wanted was a college job, and little did she know that she would be working with so many of her future family members. Ethan, his brother, and their father all worked in the same store. It was one heck of a time.

In the beginning, Noelle and Ethan were both friends and seeing other people. They would hang out together with people from work, frequenting Oscar's Tavern amongst other fun Philly spots after their weekend shifts. As those other relationships came and went, time revealed what was in front of their faces all along. One day, Ethan worked up the courage to ask Noelle to go for a drink at Oscar's...alone. By the end of the evening, a kiss was exchanged and they were running through the sprinklers of Rittenhouse Park like they were in an early 2000s rom com.

The best gifts in life are the ones you don't expect.
