It all started in 2011 in an Abercrombie & Fitch store where Anthony was working as a manager, he noticed Emily shopping in the store and approached her to ask if she'd be interested in working there. It was a casual conversation at first, but little did they know that this seemingly small moment would spark a connection that would last for years to come.

They dated shortly after, however life had other plans as they continued to go after their dreams. Emily moved to Manhattan for college and Anthony continued to wait for his call for the New York City Fire Department.

Over the next few years, Anthony and Emily stayed in touch through random calls, texts, and occasional meetups. Each time they crossed paths there was a sense of "what if" as well as an unspoken feeling that their story was far from over. They thought about each other often, but timing was never quite right.

Fast forward to 2023- After years of missed opportunities and the twists and turns of life, Anthony and Emily were finally in the right place at the right time. Anthony reached out to Emily, asking her out on a proper date. It was as if all the years of distance and timing suddenly aligned, and they knew- this was it. The spark that had once flickered had now ignited into something deeper, more meaningful and they were creating something real.

Their relationship was built on a strong foundation of faith, trust, and similar values. As their love story grew, so did their shared faith. Both Anthony and Emily prayed for one another and faith became the center of their relationship.

Anthony and Emily's story is a testament to the power of timing, faith, and the belief that sometimes love has its own plan. When a simple encounter in a store all those years ago had turned into a love that was meant to be all along.
