They met at a (quarantine approved) birthday party for Anthony and a friend in May of 2020. Liz was hanging out with her mom and sister, when her roommate asked her to come to a small get together. Liz’s mom was actually the one that convinced her to go. (Owe you for life mom). Liz arrived not expecting much and was greeted by Anthony’s man bun and asparagus tattoo. Liz will still joke that Anthony took one look at her and left the room, uninterested. But a few White Claws and a very bad choreographed dance later, they found themselves talking for hours, completely enamored. From that party on, they were inseparable all summer. I mean… what else was there to do in a global shut down? They went hiking, hung out by the pool, grabbed to-go Orange Crushes from the local Baltimore bars still closed off from the pandemic. They spent every day together for months. It was the easiest and best summer of their lives. A huge milestone came in November 2020, when Liz convinced Anthony to ditch the man bun. That moment really sealed the deal. They spent the holidays together and started meeting each other’s families. Liz talked politics with Rich and Anthony kept hiding his job from Jim (iykyk). Soon enough, they moved in together and became a family of three. Liz, Anthony, and Athena forever. In February of 2024, Anthony took Liz to the beach and asked to marry her. To no shock, Liz said yes and hit the ground planning. They can’t wait to celebrate our love story with all of you and keep adding wonderful memories to it!
