Anthony and Kelli go to Aruba every year, its their favorite vacation spot! In February, 2020 (right before Covid-19 hit), Anthony and Kelli traveled to Aruba with Anthony's parents and spent the entire week there. On one of their last nights in Aruba, Anthony and Kelli were planning to have their own "date night" as they had spent most of the nights with his Mom and Dad and wanted to do something on their own one of the nights (which they have done every year in Aruba). Little did Kelli know, Anthony was planning to propose on their date night!

On the night of their "date night" (February 9th, 2020), Anthony requested that they both walk on the beach at sunset to the restaurant they had reservations at so they could get a pretty picture while the sun was setting (Kelli never says no to an opportune picture). As they were walking on the beach towards the restaurant, Anthony suddenly stopped and turned to Kelli, and got down on one knee! While Kelli does not remember the emotional speech Anthony gave her while proposing because she was so shocked, Kelli does remember two things: the first being "please don't drop the ring in the sand", and the second being "I have one more surprise for you". While Kelli was clearly already surprised and shocked, the surprise ended up being her Mom, Dad, and Sister joining them and Anthony's family in Aruba to be a part of their engagement! Anthony also hired two photographers to capture the special moment on the beach. Anthony and Kelli both spent the rest of the night with both of their families at The Bugaloe Beach Bar & Pier where they ate, drank, and danced the rest of the night away!
