Lisa's POV:

I met Anthony unexpectedly during a very dark time in my life. Filled with bitter disappointments, heartbreak and rage. Gradually, this prince charming who emerged from my boys' love novels melted all of my sadness, anger & insecurities.

He filled my entire being with the most vivid colors and sheer joy. Emotions I haven’t felt for a very very long time.

Anthony’s warmth, tenderness, passion and unlimited patience felt extremely familiar. As if we were lovers in a previous lifetime. Love at first sight with a sense of safety and familiarly is what I felt on our first date.

Our deep love for all kinds of music, Anime, cosplay, food, life routines and our twisted humor cemented the deep bond we share. Our matching Zelda ocarinas was another sign we were meant to be.

Sometimes when you know, you know. I chose to embrace this extremely rare gift of deep and true love the celestial beings and my prince have gifted me. In my almost 40 years in this lifetime, Anthony is one of the few I never doubted. That is the highest compliment I can give anyone.

The proposal was so perfect. What can’t my prince not do? I keep pushing the boundaries yet he never disappoints, only delivers.

“I know you, I walked with you once a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam...But if I know you, I know what you'll do. You'll love me at once, the way you did once, upon a dream..."

Anthony's POV:

Perfect timing is one of many extraordinary identifiers that I can say about how Lisa waltzed into my life, bringing joy, light and love to every aspect of my being. We found each other during a time which I now consider to be a massive upswing in my life, recovering from various issues pertaining health and love alike. She is and has been the catalyst to my ever growing positive outlook on life, acting as my muse and source of inspiration.

Lisa and I's blossoming relationship this year has been nothing short of a blessing. Her initial presence in my life was so unexpected yet welcoming as she's shown me that life can be so beautiful when shared with someone who truly cares about you. To be in her presence is to be with someone who truly hears, supports, cares about and loves me for who I am. She graciously takes me as I am with all of my flaws despite being such a flawless being herself.

Everyday I find myself so grateful to be able to bask in Lisa's radiant beauty and elegance, as if I've found a window into the heavens above just by being caught in her gaze. I've truly found my 2nd half in this life, and oh what a half she has turned out to be.

Our shared love of various life's amenities such as cuisine, media, and overall life philosophy are just the cherry on top of a beautiful relationship that will persist in this lifetime and further.

Our time shared together so far is just a precursor to what is yet to come in our lives. A life filled with love, passion, laughter, and amazing memories yet to be made. One such memory will be the celebration of our union, which we are ecstatic to share with you all.

"For it's true, you are my destiny. When you hold my hand, I understand the magic that you do. You're my dream come true, my one and only you."

We're both so grateful to you, our loving friends and family, for your love and support. We can't wait to celebrate the wedding with you soon!

Love,

Lisa & Anthony
