Before Anthony and I met, we both shared the same guiding purpose: we wanted to find our person, our best friend, and the partner with whom to share our lives. As two very family-oriented people, we sought the individual who could be there for our greatest accomplishments, our most significant life events, and our hardest moments. We were fortunate enough to find that in each other. What we have come to know of love is more than we ever expected. Our relationship is not a fantasy free of trials and hardships, but rather a realistic and intentional decision to love each other every day as best we are able. What I find most beautiful about our relationship is our shared willingness to continue growing into the best partners we can be and to do our individual work in order to love one another in the way each of us needs to be loved.

Anthony is fiercely loyal, consistently thoughtful, and incredibly supportive of Isabella’s dreams. Isabella is empathetic, kind, and determined to push them both to become the best versions of themselves. With both having fiery natures, their communication is passionate, honest, and persistently loving. They most enjoy their time together when they can let go of social constructs, be their strangest selves, and laugh at themselves. Anthony and Isabella do not always agree, but they share core values beneath any differences of opinion. They allow each other to remain individuals, without needing to change the other’s mind or feel the same way about every situation. They love each other exactly as they are and see the beauty in each other’s uniqueness.

We are so grateful to celebrate our love surrounded by those most important to us in a place that is undeniably beautiful. We thank you all for your support and are excited to share this milestone with you.
