Anthony and Madelyn’s story began back in 2016, when they first met through mutual friends. What started as a simple introduction quickly grew into a genuine friendship. With no pressure and plenty of time to just be themselves, they got to know each other naturally and deeply.

Their connection came easily, built on shared interests that felt uniquely their own. Whether it was their love for video games, cars, sports, or the same kind of music, they always found common ground. One standout moment in their early days? Anthony’s impressive Guitar Hero skills—which Madelyn found both amazing and, admittedly, a little attractive.

Over time, their bond grew stronger, and it became clear they shared something special. Their friendship naturally blossomed into love, and on June 22, 2018, they officially began their journey as a couple.

Together, they supported each other through some of life’s biggest milestones. Madelyn graduated from Towson University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts concentrating in Ceramics with her pet rabbit, Mochi, supporting her through the late nights; while Anthony completed the 602 HVAC Apprenticeship Program, earning recognition for his achievements and continuing his career as a full technician.

On March 24, 2024, Anthony proposed to Madelyn at Quiet Waters Park, overlooking the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. Not long after, they were blessed to purchase their first home together on August 2, 2024, in Shady Side, Maryland—just down the street from where Madelyn grew up.

Now, as they look ahead to their wedding on October 16, 2026, Anthony and Madelyn reflect on a journey filled with growth, challenges, perseverance, and, most importantly, love. They are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by their family and friends.
