By Our Side: Stephen and Luella do not have much to worry about with Caterina always by their sides

Not all dating app stories are bad, especially in Stephen Rizzacasa’s case. When he met Caterina Ferraro on Bumble, he could tell very early on she was the one for him. She made him laugh and she brought out his good side, and it did not hurt that she is a sight for sore eyes.

A few years have passed since that first date at indoor golf and a lot has changed for the better in their relationship. They had a daughter – Luella – together, and Stephen and Caterina are also looking forward to what the future holds for them. They love each other with all their heart, and Stephen cannot help but spew all the amazing things that make his better half so wonderful.

“Caterina is very smart, loving and caring,” he said. “She is a great mother to our daughter Luella, who is 2 years old. She is very organized and a great planner. She likes to play golf and spend time with family. Caterina is a hard worker. She is very beautiful. She has a strong work ethic and is driven. She’s very successful. She has helped me grow and mature as a man.”

Caterina is also a very heartfelt individual. She is a chemist and biologist who is playing a large role in finding cures to cancer through medication, and her work in that shows just how much she cares about people.

“She is very loving and caring and smart and driven,” Stephen said. “Caterina pushes me to be better and get mature and grow as a man and father and partner and worker.”

In many ways, Stephen sees Caterina as a role model. He looks up to her because of how amazing she is, and he strives to live life just like her.

He hopes that as their daughter grows up, she will do much the same. The bond between Luella and Caterina is already special, and Stephen knows it will only continue to grow.

“She is a great mother,” he said. “She is very patient and loving and always willing to learn and is great with our daughter. Caterina always gives great attention to her and teaches her. She is willing to put our daughter first before anything. She will sacrifice for the family.”

With loving Italian parents, two sisters, two nieces and a nephew, Caterina has always known what it means to put family first. In fact, she has always loved her family with all her heart and has always wanted what is best for them. That is why, when she and Stephen started a family of their own, Caterina was so well-ready for the role of motherhood.

“She means everything,” Stephen said. “She has made a great home and life for us. She has helped me grow and is an amazing mother. I love being with her and couldn’t imagine what my life would be without her and our daughter. Caterina has made many sacrifices so we can improve and grow and get better opportunities.”

Everything Caterina does is for the good of her family. They are her everything and they are the ones she could not live without. They are the reason she gets up every day, and the sentiment is certainly reciprocated.

“I am so glad you decided to come play golf for our first date. You have made me a better man and are still helping me grow and get better. I love having you by my side and having Luella together. You guys are the best family I could ask for. I know I don’t always make it easy, but we always make it work and are working to make our life better. I can’t wait to keep growing and get our restaurant open soon.” – Stephen
