Anthony and Natalie met in 2015 at Valley Republic Bank where they were both working as Credit Analysts. It wasn’t until February 2017 that the two begin dating after hanging out at the Padre hotel following their work anniversary party. Anthony later asked Natalie to join him for drinks at Johnny Garlics in the Marketplace. The next day the two went on a run on the river trail. After their run, Anthony asked Natalie to dinner later that week. A couple hours before he was supposed to pick her up for dinner he called and told her he had the flu. Instead of going out Anthony and Natalie talked on the phone and rescheduled for when Anthony recovered. Anthony showed Natalie what good Mexican food is and the two have been inseparable since.

Anthony and Natalie went to visit Anthony’s best friend Sam and his wife Erin in Sonoma County for a long weekend. On Sunday July 8, they all set out on a hike along Bodega Bay. The hike ended up taking them to the top of a peak overlooking Bodega Bay. When they got up to the top, they were enjoying the view when Anthony wanted to take a picture with Natalie. After taking pictures, Anthony went to Sams backpack and came back to Natalie with a ring. Looking out over the bay, Anthony got down on one knee and asked Natalie to marry him. Natalie said yes!
