Sophie and Anthony’s story began in 2015, thanks to our wonderful mutual, Emily Cecchini—now Emily Ni. From the moment I met Anthony, there was something special about him. I never really believed in love at first sight, but there was an undeniable spark. As the years went by, I found myself spending more and more time with the Cecchini family, who quickly became some of my favorite people. I had a crush on Anthony, and to my surprise, he felt the same. We briefly dated, but I ended up breaking his heart, which led to a year of playful teasing and banter between us. Then came September 12, 2017. Anthony took me to Panera for a date, and it turned out to be a turning point. From that day on, we were inseparable. We’ve shared so much over these eight years—growing together, facing challenges, and celebrating the good times. Each experience has brought us closer, and I can’t imagine my life without him. As we prepare to embark on this next chapter together, we’re filled with excitement and gratitude. We can’t wait to share this special moment with all of you—our family and friends who have supported us along the way. Thank you for being part of our journey.
