…Turns out Michele was thinking the same thing! After proving they could spend two weeks together traveling without killing each other, they decided the next logical step would be to move in together!

Five months later and the young couple was thriving, despite Michele anxiously trying to keep an important secret from Blair (which he would later discover just how unsuccessful he was). He planned to propose!

Having gone to all of Blair’s friends and family to gain their approval, he set to work building the perfect ring for his dream girl. After months of diamond hunting and ring designing, he picked up the ring and set it aside.

The plan was to propose abroad, at the perfect time and place. But Blair is a globetrotter, a jet-setter, she had traveled the world her entire adult life and wouldn’t be easily impressed... so with the help of her sisters Michele devised a plan to hopefully surprise Blair with a romantic proposal on the breathtaking island of Santorini in Greece, surrounded by her family and loved ones.

And it was a success!! In the sense that Michele proposed and Blair said yes at least. Unbeknownst to him Blair had suspected that he was planning to pop the question pretty early on. You see, not only had Michele’s nerves betrayed him on the day of the proposal, but he had also let a lot more slip than he realized…

After a joyous proposal in May of 2024, the couple would travel to Italy a couple of months later to attend a wedding. While there, they visited the villa where they pictured the wedding of their dreams and fell in love with it immediately. It’s there, at Villa Rusconi-Clerici on July 10th, 2025, where they hope to see you celebrate their love.
