Wedding Date on Jun 14, 2019

Anthony and Vania technically met over Facebook... There we said it. Thank you Mark Zuckerberg for making this happen. Anthony befriended Vania on Facebook in 2009 while he was attending high school in Germany and Vania was attending high school in Texas. Flash forward to 2014, Anthony is now in college in North Carolina and Anthony has hung out with Vania’s little sister, Jeanine, on a few occasions. Anthony tells Jeanine “I’m going to marry your sister one day”. Jeanine tells Anthony “good luck, and you have to meet her first”. So then the quest began... Anthony messages Vania in 2014 with the hopes of getting to know her. Vania initially thought nothing of it because she felt they would never meet each other. Slowly but surely, Vania fell for his humor, his ability to carry on a great conversation, and his love for Jesus Christ. Anthony and Vania conversed over the phone/Skype calls for 6 months and then planned a trip to finally meet each other! The day they met face to face, that “spark” that everyone talks about was oh so present. Anthony says he fell in love the second he saw Vania. Vania on the other hand was too afraid to express that she loved him and waited a year to tell him. Vania and Anthony date each other long-distance throughout college, and then while Vania is attending a Doctor of Physical Therapy program and Anthony is working with Athletes in Action (a Christian ministry). On November 21st, 2018 (after 4.5 years of dating long distance), Anthony asks Vania to be his wife! Because of the long distance, we have to rely primarily on communicating with each other, we feel that we know each other so intimately due to the strong communication skills we have built all these years. We are best friends, and now we cannot wait to build our lives together. We thank God that he brought the other person into each of our lives. Our relationship has always, and will continue, to be grounded in a love and submission towards Jesus Christ, our savior.
