Story

Good ole' Peoria, Illinois. It's where the magic happens - and it's where Stephanie and Brett met for the first time. At first they were just acquaintances through some mutual friends. But here they are now, the main characters of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. It's a classic love story, really. And if you're reading this, you get to be a part of it.

Tidbits

What was your most memorable date?

We could pick a fancy dinner, but that would be too easy. One person in this relationship is a bit on the nerdy side (and if you know Brett - you know it's definitely not him). On a noneventful Sunday afternoon near Bradley University, the two lovebirds were determined to conquer the Peoria Riverfront Museum's Community Solar System hunt, which is the world's most complete large-scale model of the Solar System. I'll let you take a wild guess on who picked that date...

What's your favorite activity together?

We're huge movie buffs. Not your typical 'I have every streaming service and don't leave my house on the weekends' couple, but the old school 'movie theater, uncomfortable seat, $10 popcorn' couple. We've made it a tradition to keep AMC in business. Stephanie has even kept every single movie ticket stub from each movie we have seen in the theaters.

What's the best meal you have eaten together?

I don't know if this is the best but we both remember it vividly. In college, Stephanie once made a chicken pesto pasta... without the pesto. She thought the spinach she added would turn the meal green and give it that pesto flavor! Stephanie claims Greeks don't eat pesto. We ended up in the McDonald's drive thru.

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

It's definitely San Diego. Brett had the best Old Fashioned he's ever had, Stephanie cried when she saw a hippo at the Zoo for the first time, and we've already been back for a second trip to the Southern California city in just our short four years since college.
