Antonio and I first met at my 16th birthday dinner at Da Boccery in Livermore. He was there as a guest of a mutual friend. Antonio was unusually quiet that night—so out of character for him now that I reflect back. We didn’t have much of a chance to chat at the party but I was definitely interested. My friend Junior passed along my contact information. Yes, I made the first move. From our first conversation, things just clicked. Now, we’re excited to start our lives together as husband and wife.
