We first met back in 2020 while working at the same restaurant. Before Hayley and Anthony became friends, Hayley was close with Anthony’s sister, Paula—and through her, Anthony and Hayley got to know each other. At first, Hayley wasn’t quite sure what to make of Anthony’s playful personality, but over time, his charm and humor grew on her. What started as an easy friendship blossomed over the years into something neither of us could ignore, even though life had other plans. When Hayley moved to Colorado, we went back and forth about whether to take the leap into dating, unsure how long distance might work. By August 2022, we couldn’t deny it any longer—we started dating across the miles, and soon after, Anthony followed his heart to Colorado. He swears it was love at first sight, and the rest is history.
