Anthony and I met in high-school, he was 16 and I was 15. Our lives crossed paths through mutual friends, parties and sporting events. I don't think it was any surprise that Anthony and I had "puppy-love" for each other but the timing was never in our favor. We did however, share a kiss...or two...one summer night. I was a junior, he was a senior and we were at a party a few doors down from my parents house. My curfew was 11pm and he was sweet enough to walk me home. We stood there talking in my parents driveway for what seemed like hours and at the end of our conversation he kissed me (sorry Mom & Dad!). Over the next five years we would run into each other occasionally, he would pop up at my dorm in college to "visit friends" and we would exchange texts here and there. Then, finally, right at the end of college, we connected once again and decided it was time to go on an "official" date. He picked me up from my apartment and took me to a bar downtown for some drinks. The date was perfect...conversation was easy, he made me laugh and asked all of the right questions. I remember thinking to myself "this is everything I've ever hoped for". From that night forward we were inseparable. We talked 24/7 and he made me feel like the most amazing woman in the world. Two weeks after our first date I sat with my mom and two best friends in the same driveway where Anthony and I shared our first kiss seven years earlier. It was that moment I told them that I was going to marry him someday. They surely thought I was crazy but I knew right then and there that I would love Anthony for the rest of my life. Over the last three years we have grown as both a couple and a family. We are so excited to celebrate our love with the people who make our world go round. Thank you for being a part of our special day and the rest of our lives!
