It all started at 18 years old at Aria Torresdale Hospital. In July 2013, Tony’s dad was in a hospital room on the same floor as a mutual friend. While I was there visiting, tony had stopped in to say hi. Both of us were very shy, we were introduced and I was never as interested in anyone else as I was at that very moment. It wasn’t until September that tony finally accepted my friend request on Facebook. We began talking & at that moment we clicked instantly. There wasn’t a day that went by where we weren’t together or at least texting each other. We had the same group of friends and spent most of our nights at car races & driving around listening to music. We spent many days laughing, smiling, and making memories with each other. October 4th, 2013, he took me on a date to Rita's water ice & he asked me to be his girlfriend, I was quick to say yes because there was no doubt in my mind that we were meant to be together. Our relationship moved extremely fast from this point on. Within 4 months of us dating I moved in with him at his parent's house. 2 years after that we eventually moved out and got our first apartment with Tony’s brother, Nick! We lived there for a year, Nick moved on and we downgraded to a one-bedroom apartment where it was finally just the two of us. We got to grow and learn each day about each other. Some days were more challenging than others but we worked through it every day to make it work. We had some rough patches but again we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together so there was no getting rid of him. Here’s to growing with each other as one but also individually but still finding ways to love each other. Here’s to the fights that we laugh off because there is nothing too big or small that we can’t get through. Here’s to learning to forgive each other and not sweat the small stuff. We have built such an amazing life together so far and I can’t wait to see what is in store for us. Here's to our future as Mr & Mrs.

Anthony and I got engaged at home on March 14th, 2020 at the beginning of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
