We met the way many couples do these days—online. But the twist? It was on JDate, the Jewish dating site. While that might seem like a natural fit for Mitch, who was raised Jewish, it could seem like an odd match for Donna, who’s Italian Catholic. But if you’ve ever tasted Donna’s gefilte fish and brisket, you’ll understand just how fitting it really was.

Our first date was at Woodmont Grille, and it quickly became our place. We've celebrated every anniversary there for the past nine years—usually ordering the exact same meal (yes, we are creatures of habit!).

We connected from the start and love the comfort of being able to be ourselves with one another. Donna has learned all about football (Go Ravens!), boating and the excitement of accounting. Mitch has experienced the joys of DC, Italian culture and New Haven pizza! Together we are loving our adventures in Annapolis.

As we step into the next chapter of our journey—version 3.0—we’re thrilled to be celebrating it with all of you.
