One day in 2011 while Danielle was in her senior year of high school geometry class she decided to no longer pay attention to her teacher but go on her phone and scroll through her Facebook. Upon her scroll she noticed a guy had posted his BBM( Black Berry Messenger) pin at 7:00 a.m. Danielle decided to act completely out of character and add it. Danielle’s reasoning was “this person is awake, why not?” Anthony accepted and they began chatting.

They quickly realized they lived an hour away from each other and could only assume they had matched on the early stages of Facebook dating sites. Through graduations, proms, teenage drama, college courses, jobs, dorms and apartments, they always found themselves together. Danielle and Anthony officially started dating on February 24, 2012 and just celebrated 12 years together.

On April 2, 2023 Anthony got down on one knee in front of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. He hired a photographer and videographer to capture the moment along with all the moments after all over Rome. What started as a joke this day about coming back to Italy to get married became a real possibility a year later when they began planning their wedding.

They can’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate with friends and family and continue this story there.
