Anthony and Becka met through a mutual friend, Dave Moore, up in Dallas. Becka traveled to Dallas quite often to lead worship with Dave, and Anthony, a close personal friend of his, helped out at those events during the school year. In May 2019, Anthony moved to Bryan to work at St. Mary’s Catholic Center, and lived in an apartment right across the street from Becka (per her recommendation hehe). During the summer, Anthony established his own roots and he and Becka quickly grew in friendship by playing video games and volleyball. In the Fall, Becka convinced Anthony to join her Middle School Core Team at St. Anthony’s, and throughout their time in ministry together, their friendship grew into something even more beautiful. They finally bit the bullet and went on their first date on November 1, 2019, and they knew early on that this relationship was something special. Throughout the next few months, the honeymoon phase pushed on and on. Fun road trips, family visits, meeting friends, Mass together, deeper talks, and lots of quality time confirmed for both of them that starting a family together was a genuine calling, and it was one that sparked joy in both of them. The sheer amount of interests they have in common borders on disgusting. They know that those will serve for decades and decades of adventure, laughter, and love. Their relationship is rooted in a desire of Heaven for each other, and it was and is surrounded by incredible, supportive friends. We’re thrilled to have you join us in our celebration!
