I wish I had a sappy love story about how we met and fell in love – but it really wasn’t that simple for us. I was online one day and decided to put a bunch of random ‘unthruths’ on my Yahoo profile to avoid any weirdos from emailing me. Little did I know that it would bring Anthony straight to me! He contacted me about a movie quote that I had posted. He loved quotes and couldn’t figure out where mine had come from! I decided to talk to him – he seemed harmless enough and I was impressed that he was raising his 2 kids by himself. So we decided to meet up for a very public dinner at Downtown Disney. We sat at a table next to an aquarium at Rainforest Cafe and talked about everything from work to the kids.<\/p>\n
From Kristen:<\/strong> There wasn’t an instant romance – that came in time. We just knew that it was easy to spend time together and our motivation and life goals were very similar. We made great friends and could chat for hours, but he respected the independence that I needed and my career goals that I wanted to achieve. He supported me in every level of that – encouraging me to start my photography business in 2009!<\/p>\n From Anthony:<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Anthony and I had talked about marriage and knew without a shadow of a doubt we were going to get married, we even spent a Saturday afternoon looking at rings! It really only came down to the guessing game of when was he going to pop the question.<\/p>\n I had a business event near our apartment one Friday morning, and decided to eat lunch back at our place with my co-worker, Adrien. When I arrived at the apartment, it was spotless! I was so confused because our apartment was never clean (unless I was cleaning it). Even the bed was made! I panicked (to Adrien’s confusion – she kept saying, What burglar breaks in and makes your bed and cleans your house?!) But I called Anthony in a craze anyways, demanding to know why the apartment was clean. He told me he came home from work in the morning because he wanted to go out to dinner that night, but knew I’d want to stay home and clean because my step-dad was driving in the next morning with my new car. Reluctantly, I fell for it – until I thought I heard Maddy in the background of his phone (who should’ve been in school). He played it off and said it was another kid in the restaurant where he was having lunch with coworkers. I let it go and headed back to the office.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div>\nWe\u2019re Engaged!!<\/h2>\n
This day I marry my friend, the one I laugh with, live for, dream of, and love<\/h4>\n
