Mackenzie and Antonino met at a summer cross country meet in 2011 before her sophomore and his senior year at Wildwood Catholic High School. They were "besties" through this whole school year. This photo is from Antonino's HS graduation.

Two besties still hanging while Antonino was a freshman at Stockton University and Mackenzie was a junior at Wildwood Catholic. Loving Halloween parties together for 13 years!

Our "unofficial first date" - a double date but a step in the right direction!!!

Our official first date to the Melting Pot in Atlantic City - even though we had started dating on June 11th (which we count as our official anniversary day). We did long (really actually mid when you look back at it comparably) distance between Wildwood and Stockton for the next year.

Antonino takes Mackenzie to her senior prom at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Cape May.
