Alicia and Antony were introduced through mutual friends while on vacation in Florida. It certainly was not love at first sight, but the two were both determined to learn more about each other. Over the next few months, they would talk for hours on the phone, getting to know each other. They would both set a date to officially meet again in person on September 22, 2023. From that second encounter, they knew they had something special and wanted to continue to explore a friendship, which blossomed into this beautiful love story.
