Countdown to the wedding!
Our Beginning
We met on Match.com while we were both in college. We talked for a very short amount of time on Match before Anthony suggested we start texting. We quickly set a date to meet in person. We decided to meet in Fremont, a halfway point between Brittany’s home in Livermore and Anthony’s in San Jose. We chose to meet at a Starbucks as we felt like that is just where you go to meet people online even though neither one of us drinks coffee. We officially met in person on September 22, 2018. Anthony was running late because he “hit traffic”. Brittany luckily stayed and waited. Anthony walked in and was looking for Brittany. She played hard to get by sitting with her back to the door. We started talking and ended up walking around the parking lot for hours going into a Spirit Halloween and getting some ice cream and the rest is history.
