They met on Oct. 5, 2009 at Gino’s Pizzeria in Yonkers, N.Y., where both had grown up, when Ms. Amitrano was 16 and Mr. Vazquez was 18.
Ms. Amitrano had heard Mr. Vazquez was “quite the ladies’ man,” so she did her best to play it cool, though she found him charming.
Both Ms. Amitrano, now 29, and Mr. Vazquez, 31, were seeing other people on and off at the time.
They would see one another at parties and, “he tried pursuing me,” Ms. Amitrano said, but they remained friends.
“We slowly fell in love over many nights venting and bonding in his car,” Ms. Amitrano said.
