Kiara and Anthony met on New Year’s Eve, 2023. Introduced by a couple of mutual friends outside the Ore Dock Brewing Company, there was an instant connection. They all went to see the ball drop together. They laughed, they danced, they drank, and the rest is history.

The first date was at Velodrome Coffee Company. Kiara sipped her iced lavender matcha latte and nervously giggled at Anthony’s jokes, while Anthony sipped his hot coffee (2 creams 2 sugars) as he effortlessly charmed Kiara. Although one of them ended up confused about whether it was an actual date, the other left with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what was next to come. Turns out — the rest of their lives.
