In the summer of 2017, their paths crossed through a mutual friend who worked with Samantha at Dunkin' Donuts. Feeling a spark of curiosity, she followed him on social media, hoping for a chance to get to know him better. Their first in-person interaction happened at Dunkin' Donuts. He stopped by to visit, but the encounter was far from smooth - it was awkward, filled with nervous laughter. That weekend, they made plans to go out. The night unfolded beautifully as they danced the night away, exchanged endless laughter, and shared their very first kiss. From then on, their connection deepened. They texted each other constantly, their conversations flowing effortlessly, and spent the warm summer days going on dates. Each outing brought them closer, as they learned more about each other and started building a bond that felt unshakable. July 18, 2017, was a day that stood out among the rest. It started with breakfast, to exploring an art museum. The day continued with a serene visit to a park, where they walked and talked. As the sun started to set they made their way to the Reseda view. With the city lights twinkling below them, he turned to her and asked her to be his girlfriend. Fast forward six and a half years later, their love story reached a new chapter. On January 27, 2024, Anthony proposed to Samantha in San Marcos, California. The setting couldn't be more romantic - a gondola gliding across calm waters, the sound of birds chirping in the background. With the evening sky as their witness, Anthony asked Samantha to spend forever with him. Her heart swelled with joy as she said "Yes."
