It all started with a little app called Bumble. Brooke initiated and said “Hi” on May 29, 2022. Tony replied “Hi” on the same day. It was the day before Memorial Day. Two people on the internet, hoping to find love. What it led to was a life full of friendship, laughter, and of course love.

It was a little under a month when we met in person for the first time. On June 25, 2022, we had our first date. It started out at Target at the Fox Valley Mall in Appleton at 10 AM. Whew, what a date. It lasted 9 hours. We spent the day going to different stores at the mall, went to half price books, a visit to a museum, lunch at Olive Garden, a movie, and some game shops at the end. We didn’t want the date to end.

From that day forward, we decided to see where this would go. By July 10, 2022, we made it official and decided we were going to date.

Who said “I love you” first. Why don’t you guess? Let’s just say it didn’t take long for either of us. Brooke will say she knew from the first time they spoke that she was going to marry Tony, but it may have taken Tony a bit longer to realize he was going to shackle himself to Brooke.

So fast forward to 2 years of dating and on a sunny August afternoon in Door County, Tony got down on one knee and asked. Brooke didn’t know Alyssa was recording, but it is a very special memory in our hearts to share this moment with friends.

Now here we are on the verge of marriage. Planning is interesting, but no matter what we are determined to go forward together into the unknown future to live our life together. We are ecstatic to share our special day with friends and family. We hope you can come and enjoy the day with us and celebrate our Union.
