Our Love Story

We were casually introduced to each other in the San Jose neighborhood of Willow Glenn at a well-known establishment called Aquis. Aquis is famous for their "Swirleys" as we call them (frozen cocktails). While these drinks helped us get to know each other, what was meant to be for us had already been written into the stars

We were drawn together by easy conversation and undeniable chemistry. We soon learned we had lots in common — especially the love of a few female pop stars. What started as regular dinners with friends soon turned into something more intimate. Whether it was laughing from our shared sense of humour or Anthony driving his passenger prince around jamming to the aforementioned Pop stars' greatest hits, feelings began to deepen.

We both discovered a matching curiosity for weekend hikes, gardening, and spending time with our families and friends.

As the world shut down in 2020, we had fewer distractions and more time to spend with each other.

Our romantic relationship was formed on a solid foundation of genuine friendship.

We decided to elope on 12/2/25, a day that would mark the official six years as a couple.

We invite you to celebrate with us our love story, dance to our favorite pop songs, and celebrate our love story!
