How It All Went Down........ They say love finds you when you least expect it and for us, it happened at our mutual friend Rose’s wedding on July 14, 2021. I was a bridesmaid, he was a groomsman, but funny enough… we didn’t even walk together down the aisle. Still, fate clearly had other plans. We crossed paths a few times during the wedding, a few laughs here, a few glances there — and let’s just say, I definitely noticed how good he looked in that Nike sweatsuit wedding eve. (I mean… who pulls off wedding weekend loungewear like that?) According to him, his first thought was, “Damn, she’s pretty, I was lit, but Damnnnn she's fine.” After the reception, Anthony showed up at my hotel room where I was hanging out with two other bridesmaids, ready to “keep the party going.” We laughed, talked, and something just clicked. From that night on, we’ve been inseparable, the kind of inseparable that makes your friends roll their eyes and say, “Y’all are too cute.” Our first date was simple but perfect, a walk through Branch Brook Park, just talking, laughing, and realizing we had something real. Fast forward to Christmas Eve 2024... Picture This!!!! Snow gently falling, surrounded by our family, when he got down on two knees (being his playful self, of course), then one knee, and asked me to marry him. I said “YESSSS!”, and just like that, our forever began. From that wedding night to the journey of our own wedding day, it’s been a journey full of laughter, love, and a little bit of mischief, just the way we like it.
