Like all great modern romances, ours started with a swipe — thank you, Hinge! Anthony made the first move, charming enough to land us a coffee date on March 2, 2022 that would quickly become unforgettable. Just days later, Allie jetted off on a family vacation, but neither of us could stop thinking about that first connection. The day she returned, we met back up — and haven’t looked back since.
 


Soon after, we decided to really test our brand-new relationship: by sharing a 200-square-foot cruise cabin for an entire week. (Go big or go home, right?) It turned out to be the best decision — not only did we survive, we thrived. On the last day of that cruise, May 13, 2022, we officially became a couple.
 


Since then, life has been full of adventure, laughter, and love — from traveling the world together (with more cruises, of course!) to playing lots of pickleball, and living our best lives with our two pups, Mitch and Kaiah.
 


Exactly three years after we made it official, on May 13, 2025, Anthony got down on one knee in front of the stunning Belfast Castle in Northern Ireland. It was pure magic — a full-circle moment in a place that had already captured our hearts. It felt only right that this beautiful country would become the place where we say I do.
 


Ireland, here we come!
