We have been together for 13 years, since we were 14 years old!

We knew of each other from young childhood but didn't interact until we sat next to each other in 6th grade math class, where Anthony used to get Annie in trouble for laughing in class, landing Annie a 7am detention while his young charm got him away unscuffed.

We became real friends later on in middle school, sharing a certain sense of humor and special connection, and then started "dating" in May of 8th grade...AKA staying up till 3am on school nights texting and only hanging out in big groups of other obnoxious teenagers. Although it seemed ridiculous at that age, we both had the feeling that this was it for us and we had each found our person...we just needed to grow up a little and learn how to operate as a couple.

We became a stronger unit throughout our time at Hanover Park High School, making time for each other through our schedule with Annie's softball/choir days and Anthony's various jobs at Funplex, Staples and delivering pizza. Not to toot our own horn but we did win a few homecomings and cutest couple for the yearbook!

We went on to separate colleges (Delaware & Temple) where we would visit each other every month, making some unforgettable memories with one another's college friends, exploring the Philly area together and making the most of summer/winter breaks at home.

After a year of real-life adulthood as we navigated our careers as a nurse and an IT consultant, we got our first apartment together during the pandemic in the unique town of Fort Lee, NJ -- this time will always hold a special place in our hearts. Two years later in 2022, we moved to a small town called Wood-Ridge and shortly after got engaged in the desert of Joshua Tree, CA during an incredible sunset -- thanks to Anthony's sleepless diligence after our delayed flight and the help of his sister and her husband, Danielle and Cam!

That fall, we adopted our rescue pup, Sophie, who we are beyond obsessed with and grateful for every day.

For fun we like to hop over to the city to explore different areas and restaurants, and plan trips whether it's somewhere with a casino or beautiful nature. We are super close with our siblings and love to hang as a family, especially since our adorable 2-year-old niece Emma and baby nephew Jack came into our lives! Otherwise we love to just lounge on the couch and play with our pup daughter any chance we get.

We've supported one another through some hard times in life and have grown together into very different people while still holding true to our connection that words can't describe. As crazy as our day-to-day life is with one of us working nights and in graduate school and the other taking on long and unpredictable work projects, we don't fail to make each other crack up almost every day and treat each other as our number one priorities. We are so excited to finally tie the knot after much anticipation and can't wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people!
