On April 21, 2014 Luke and Andrea met at a meeting between H.G. Fenton Company and the Little Italy Association to discuss design details for Little Italy’s newest piazza, Piazza Famiglia. Andrea just started working for H.G. Fenton Company and as a Little Italy Association board member, Luke was working closely with the developer on the project. Andrea immediately caught his eye but after inquiring with her boss,
John La Raia, was told to leave his new employee alone. Luke decided to give it some time but kept Andrea in his sight and six weeks later used a work related email as an opening to ask her out to a Padres game. Luke had a “surprisingly” good time and after a year that was undoubtedly the best of both of their lives, decided it was time to keep Andrea permanently in his sight. Andrea and Luke got engaged in May 2015 on a Lake Tahoe road trip now known as the “best road trip, EVER!!!”
