Anthony and I met as college freshmen at Chico State (go Wildcats). We were both at a party & I was bold enough to approach him. Little did I know that he was working with the fire department the summer of 2008. This meant long hours and very little opportunity to get to know each other. During that time, I was getting ready to leave for one year to Madrid, Spain. I never imagined that at the raw age of 18, Anthony would decide to wait for my return. After one year of long skype sessions, expensive phone calls and one month of back packing through Europe together our love prevailed. And here we are, eleven years later!
Anthony proposed on July 7, 2015, just one month prior to the start of Law School. We were in Cabo for a last hoorah when he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. He carried the ring for days and was too nervous to pop the question. As we were waiting for our taxi to head out to the airport, Anthony realized he was running out of time to ask the question in beautiful Mexico. We were standing in our hotel balcony admiring the ocean view when he got on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I was in shock and very excited to begin a new chapter with Anthony by my side. As you all know, Anthony was very supportive of a long engagement for me to focus on my studies. Here we are 11 years later + 6 of those years engaged! Our wedding day couldn't be more special. Thank you for celebrating with us.
