The first day of 6th grade was the first time we met. It took Alaina only a few conversations with Anthony to know he was someone special, and someone that she hoped would be in her life for a long time. We stayed friends as long as possible and lasted until summer 2018. That fall, Anthony hopped on a plane to fly to DC and ask Alaina if she'd be okay going from "friend" to "girlfriend". On August 6th, 2021 Anthony popped the question that has led us to this celebration on September 16th in the place we've made our home the last two years, Cincinnati, OH. We can't wait to celebrate with you as we officially start our lives together!
