Anthony and I met on October 29, 2025, though our story actually began a little earlier on the Hinge app. He made the first move by responding to one of the prompts on my profile, and before long we found ourselves talking and getting to know each other. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into something we both wanted to explore further. We agreed to meet in person at a Mexican restaurant in Iowa Falls, Iowa. Anthony brought me flowers, and we spent the evening getting to know one another. We talked about our lives, our faith, our families, and the experiences that had shaped us. There were moments of laughter, but more than anything, there was a genuine sense of openness and honesty. After dinner, we ran an errand together, and what could have been an ordinary evening became the beginning of something special. As the weeks passed, our friendship grew. We shared our families, our hopes for the future, and our desire to build a Christ-centered relationship and a life rooted in faith, honesty, and commitment. On November 19, 2025, Anthony officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and I happily said yes. From there, our relationship continued to grow through countless conversations, prayers, dates, and everyday moments. We learned to support one another, encourage one another, and choose each other day by day. What began as a conversation, turned into a friendship, and that friendship gradually became love. Then on February 1, 2026, Anthony asked me to be his wife. In that moment, he wasn't just asking a question—he was inviting me into a future we would build together. And taking a step of faith, I answered: "Yes. I choose you." We are grateful for every step that brought us together and excited to begin this next chapter as husband and wife.
