For Brianna Robertazzi and Cameron Colicchio, what began as a casual Tinder connection evolved into a life journey — one filled with shared interests, laughter and a jumbotron proposal at Madison Square Garden.
The two met in April 2021, when Colicchio, 29, messaged Robertazzi, intrigued by her knowledge of hockey. “She’s a Rangers fan and I’m an Islanders fan, so that sparked some friendly rivalry,” he said. After a playful bet, Colicchio took her to dinner at Applebee’s — where they unexpectedly ran into his mother just 5 minutes in. “He was goofy, funny and just as cute as his profile picture,” recalled Robertazzi, 29.
Over the next few months, their connection deepened. “She was so easy to talk to, and I remember thinking how selfless and kind she was,” Colicchio said.
Robertazzi said she had always wanted to be proposed to at a hockey game, and on Feb. 20, 2023, during a Rangers vs. Winnipeg Jets game, Colicchio brought her dream to life. Right on cue, the jumbotron lit up with the big question. “He fumbled with the ring a bit,” she recalled with a laugh. “But it was perfect and I said yes immediately.”
The couple wed on March 29 at The Vineyard at East Wind in Wading River, with 130 guests. Their rustic, laid-back reception featured bottles from the vineyard’s very first wine production, a photo booth and a special tribute to both their families. “We made sure to honor our parents’ long marriages,” Robertazzi said.
Back from their honeymoon in Italy, the newlyweds, now living in Bellport, are planning a future filled with travel and more hockey-themed date nights.
“In marriage, not everything is 50-50,” Colicchio said. “Sometimes it takes 80-20 to make sure we are a real team.”
Robertazzi added, “We just want to laugh a lot, be there for each other and never stop being best friends.”
