On December 16, 2023, Anthony was celebrating his cousin Jordan’s birthday when he met Jordan’s neighbor and Erin's best friend, Bailey. The moment Bailey saw Anthony, she pointed at him and asked if he was single, immediately thinking he was perfect for Erin. When Anthony confirmed that he was, Bailey wasted no time texting Erin: “I have someone for you.” As soon as Erin could, she went to meet Anthony. They met that night at Billiards in Springfield and hit it off instantly. Even after the celebration ended, the two stayed late, talking and getting to know each other. They both knew right away that there was something special between them. From that night on, they were inseparable, spending every free moment together watching movies, playing with their dogs, and meeting each other’s family and friends. Their adventures soon took them to Memphis, New Orleans, South Carolina, and even the Caribbean, creating countless memories along the way. On September 1, 2025, surrounded by family at his parents’ home, Anthony asked Erin to marry him. Now, they’re over the moon excited to tie the knot and celebrate their love with all of their favorite people on May 29, 2026.
