Erika and Anthony matched on a dating app in January 2022, who knew a simple “heyy :)” would work. Lol They quickly hit it off, after a week of talking they went on their first date. This is where the rest was history, it was the best night and they both didn’t want it to be over. After the first date, Erika texted her friends “I found my future husband!” They laughed it off saying that’s what you always say. Anthony was different he’s passionate, caring, respectful, charming, funny the list goes on. Their relationship moved fast, three weeks later Anthony asked Erika to be his girlfriend. Fast forward to a few weeks, there was an ice storm and Anthony never left. Lol They both became inseparable, being around each other felt like home. They have had a lot of good times together such as traveling, concerts, doing first together and everything in between. They went through a deployment which made the relationship even stronger and they fell deeper in love. Distance truly makes the heart grow fonder.

On 6/22/2024, Anthony proposed to Erika in Dallas, Texas. They went to Dallas to see Aventura in concert. Anthony was so nervous the whole day, Erika didn’t notice at all. Anthony surprised Erika with a nice dinner and afterwards they made their way downtown Dallas. Erika was setting up her camera to do a little photoshoot when she turned around Anthony was down on one knee. Erika was completely caught by surprised. It was a beautiful magical day. A day they will always remember.

We cannot wait for our wedding day on 4/26/25 & to celebrate with all of our loved ones.
