In 2016, Emily's mom first reached out to Anthony (based off a recommendation from M.E. Yancosek-Gamble. Thanks M.E!), asking him to put together a surprise 50th birthday video for Emily's dad. Anthony met with Emily's mom and grandma, gathering photos to put the video together. It was during that initial meeting that Emily's mom mentioned that Anthony should meet their middle daughter (thanks mom!). Anthony, being the budding entrepreneur that he still is, said he couldn't commit to dating at that time (typical). So the video was finished, the party was celebrated, and life moved on. Approximately a month & a half later, Anthony reached out to Emily on Facebook after exchanging a series of "likes" back and forth on FB and Instagram. He said, "If you like one more of my photos, I'm gonna have to ask you out for coffee." To which Emily coyly replied, "Well in that case, you should post another picture." So Anthony, being the creative that he is, posted a picture of a cup of coffee with a question mark in the foam. And with that, a dinner date was set. We spent 3 hours at Union Grille, talking, laughing, and living in our own little world. And the rest, as they say, is history! 💛 Scroll down for photo proof of our adorable interaction! 🤗
