A Family Affair
Liza Joe Wedding Bridal Bliss
By Charli Penn · Updated October 28, 2020
Bride: Elizabeth Roverano, 30, Student

Groom: Joseph Roverano, 29, Ground Electronics Tech in the U.S. Navy

Married Since: April 16th, 2011

Wedding Location: Texas de Brazil – Miami Beach, FL

Wedding Style: An intimate, colorful occasion

Florida newlyweds Liz and Joe first locked eyes from across the room at a mutual friend’s dinner party. The chemistry was instant and neither of them remembers exactly what happened next.

One thing they do agree on is that they felt totally comfortable with each other that night. Before long, Liz and Joe were sharing sweet text messages and never-ending phone calls, each knowing for sure that they’d been struck by cupid’s arrow.

Liz knew it was love, but she realized Joe was her soul mate when he asked her son for permission to marry his mom. Joe got the okay and when it was time to pop the question, he did so in front of her little man at their home in an unforgettable family moment Liz will cherish forever. A beautiful spring beach wedding soon followed. Share their love!
