forever and always

Jennifer and Anthony's love story began in November when they both stumbled upon each other's profiles on Bumble, a popular dating app. Fate seemed to be on their side as they both swiped right, indicating mutual interest. Jennifer took the first step by reaching out to Anthony through the app, sparking the beginning of their connection. Despite their initial interest, scheduling a date proved challenging due to the busy holiday season. Jennifer, hesitant to commit to a specific date, blamed the holiday festivities for her inability to meet up. However, they didn't let this setback deter them. Instead, they exchanged social media profiles and continued to interact with each other, primarily through Instagram. Anthony made consistent efforts to capture Jennifer's attention, whether it was by liking her photos, sending her direct messages, or engaging with her posts about the New York Rangers. Their virtual connection flourished, and by March, Jennifer finally agreed to go on a date with Anthony. Their first two dates were filled with excitement and chemistry. However, their new romance faced an unexpected hurdle when COVID-19 lockdowns were implemented, forcing them to spend months apart. Despite the physical distance, Jennifer and Anthony found creative ways to nurture their relationship, from endless FaceTime dates to playing games like Quiplash and synchronized movie-watching sessions. Their commitment to staying connected during such uncertain times only strengthened their bond. As restrictions eased and they were finally able to reunite, Jennifer and Anthony's connection deepened even further. They have been inseparable ever since, and with the rest of their journey together waiting to unfold.

On May 27, 2023, Anthony brought Jennifer to Beekman Beach in Oyster Bay, a place that held special significance for both of them. It marked their first date after enduring two months of separation due to COVID-19 restrictions, and later into their relationship this is also where Anthony told Jennifer that he loved her. Despite Jennifer's initial difficulty in the proposal planning, Anthony remained steadfast in his determination to create the perfect moment to ask Jennifer to marry him. With the help of his soon-to-be future sister-in-laws, Anthony orchestrated a beautiful setup at Beckman Beach, where he planned to pop the question and make Jennifer the happiest woman alive. Anthony cleverly disguised their outing as a brunch with his family. However, as they arrived at Beckman Beach, Jennifer quickly realized that something much more significant was about to happen. As they strolled along the beach, hand in hand, Anthony led Jennifer to the precisely arranged setup. With a heart full of love and nerves, Anthony got down on one knee, his eyes filled with adoration as he looked up at Jennifer. In that moment, with the sound of the waves as their witness, Anthony poured out his heart and asked Jennifer to spend the rest of her life with him. Overwhelmed with emotion and joy, Jennifer's eyes sparkled with tears of happiness as she exclaimed a resounding "YES!" Their embrace was filled with love and promise as they sealed their commitment to each other amidst the beauty of Beckman Beach, marking the beginning of their journey towards a lifetime of love and happiness together.
