Antonio: I met Zembya at my old place of work. She came in for drinks with my sister. The moment she walked through the door, I knew she would be the love of my life. I was captured by this beautiful Filipina-looking lady speaking Italian with my former boss. I asked my sister for her phone number, but Zembya refused to give it to her. Zembya said I had to ask her myself, and I did! Our first date felt like we knew each other from another life. We have been inseparable since. Zembya: I can say that Antonio and I met by chance, but I do not think that is the case. Even though our meeting was the old fashioned cute-meet-up at a bar, to me it was the universe! Now, I understand why people say “You’ll know when you meet the one!” I felt it in my heart he was the one. We have been inseparable since our first date. His love, kindness, selflessness and sense of humor always makes my day brighter. He is not only my soulmate; he is my prince charming!

Zembya and I had plans to go to Las Vegas. We both love the energy and vibrancy of Las Vegas, so my initial plan was to propose there. However, after much thought, I did not want the proposal to only include us. Family means a lot to both of us; so I decided to propose at her birthday party surrounded by family. And I did! It was nerve wracking but worth every second. Now, here we are - ready to unite our families. We couldn’t be happier!
