The lovebirds met at a Halloween party through mutual friends. Eva caught Anthony's eye with her hilarious Snookie costume from The Jersey Shore. Anthony, in his last-minute hobo costume, was quick to introduce himself and compliment her costume. Through their shared sense of humor, they became friends that night. That friendship would later develope and grow into love, trust, and mutual respect for one another.
Anthony had always known that when he would propose to Eva, it would be somewhere outdoors where they could be one with nature. He planned an elaborate trip to Mt. Zion in Utah, where he would get down on one knee when they reached the highest peak of their hike. Three hours into their 6-day vacation, Anthony was already on edge. With the ring burning in his pocket, he made the spontaneous decision to pull over on the side of the road and start their vacation the best way possible. In the middle of the desert at 10pm, Anthony got out of his driver seat, walked around to Eva, and popped the question! Instantly through her tears of happiness and shock, she said YES! He knew that she would have wanted to begin her vacation on cloud 9, and he was right!
