The Story of Us

How We Met + Our Journey

Our story began the summer before our freshman year of high school (2008) when we met at NY’s CityParks Youth Tennis program. We only knew each other in passing during lessons, and we would never have imagined how life would bring us together a short time later at the start of our senior year (2011). Anthony began to come around more often on weekends when we hung out with our mutual friends. It was so easy to talk and have fun with one another. Soon after, Anthony began developing feelings for Noel, and he wanted to find a way to see her more often. During the spring (2012), Noel participated in the theater program at Anthony's high school. (As we both went to single-gendered schools, it was not uncommon for girls to venture to an all-boys school to audition!) Anthony seized this opportunity and joined the play’s stage crew so we could grow closer during those months - and it worked! Anthony asked Noel to accompany him to his prom as friends that May, and Noel eagerly accepted. We had such a blast dancing the night away well into the morning! At after-prom, we sat down to unwind right outside of the dance hall. Little did Noel know that Anthony had been working up the courage and finally admitted his true feelings to her that night! That summer, we began dating and officially became boyfriend & girlfriend on July 24, 2012. We attended separate colleges our freshmen year (2012-2013). Anthony went to school in NYC while Noel was enrolled at Seton Hall University in NJ. There was never a night that we weren’t video chatting or a weekend that Anthony wouldn’t travel from Brooklyn to visit. Throughout our first year, Anthony grew increasingly dissatisfied with his college experience, which ultimately led him to consider transferring. We worked together to find the best solution, and decided with our parents that SHU would be the one. He transferred the next year, and we spent the next four years at school together, earning our bachelors & master degrees in business.

The Proposal

June 8, 2018

Approximately 6 months after Anthony graduated, he wanted to take Noel out to eat after work in the city. We walked along the pier as we waited for our reservation and found ourselves in the park next to the Intrepid: Sea, Air & Space Museum. This pier was significant to us as it was the very place we shared a heart-filled conversation in the summer of 2012 that marked the beginning of the relationship we have now. As we sat on a bench chatting and watching the sunset over the water, Anthony began talking about the first time we were on the pier together that night years ago. He proceeded to say, "I want to make a new memory here," bent down on one knee, opened the ring box, and, through teary eyes, asked Noel to marry him. Noel began crying of joy and said "Yes!" Our upcoming wedding & marriage is a dream come true for us both. We are so honored and beyond excited to share this joyous occasion with our closest family and friends. Thank you all for your support & love throughout the years and for many more to come!
