They say love works in mysterious ways — and somehow, it brought a guy from sunny Orange County, California and a girl from snowy Buffalo, New York together in the heart of Texas. We were both on our own journeys — some soul searching, a little heartbreak, and a lot of hope that maybe, just maybe, something real was still out there. Our paths crossed in Dallas, and from the first few messages we exchanged, it felt different. It felt easy. Like something we’d been waiting for without even realizing it. After just a few weeks of writing back and forth, we decided to meet. But in true Tony fashion, there was a plot twist: an hour before our first date, he casually let Emily know… he was actually in Florida. (Classic.) Luckily, she gave him a second chance. When we finally met face to face, all the nerves disappeared. It felt like we already knew each other — like we had just been waiting for life to catch up and finally put us in the same room. Two dates later, we were on an early morning flight to Spokane, Washington, ready to take a leap of faith — one that would set the foundation for a lifetime of love, partnership, and adventure. From coast to coast, missed dates to spontaneous flights, we found something rare. A connection that felt destined. A love that feels like home. We can’t wait to celebrate the rest of our story with you. 💍❤️
