This is how it begins...
Anthony first saw Gaia singing a solo in Arabic during Mass in college. As her voice filled the church, he was instantly captivated—not just by her voice, but by her. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her as he approached the altar to receive communion. For the entire year, he couldn’t stop thinking about that moment. The first time Gaia saw Anthony was during her Chemistry final exam. There he was: tall, dressed in a black suit, hair perfectly done, walking into Gaia's exam room as a proctor. Gaia's jaw literally dropped. Here Gaia was attempting to recall molecular formulas and structures while Anthony was standing front and center, surveying the room, completely unaware of the effect he was having on her. She handed in her exam, rushed out of the room, and couldn’t help but wonder, "Who is that?" and "What’s his name?" Little did Gaia know, Anthony had been wondering the same thing about her all along. Fate gave them one more chance, the night before his graduation at his last senior gathering. They locked eyes, and he finally worked up the courage to introduce himself. The rest, as they say, is history. From that point on, they began to connect in a way that was so natural, so effortless. They bonded over everything from shared interests to their love for adventure, and they quickly realized that they had found something special. What started as a shy glance and shared moments during Mass and exams turned into a love that they are so grateful to have found. As they prepare to marry, Gaia and Anthony reflect with joy and gratitude on how their paths so beautifully crossed. They can’t wait to begin this next chapter—and continue writing their love story together.
