We met when
we were set up on a blind date by two friends. All four of us went to
a Spanish restaurant for dinner. Throughout the night, it became clear
that Anthony’s laid-back charm matched Kimberly’s energetic
personality. When Kimberly got home that night, Anthony called to ask
for a second date. Remembering that she mentioned her love of scary
movies, the next Friday he took her to Great Adventure’s Fright Fest.
We spent hours talking that night as we made the two hour drive there,
waited online for the Haunted Hayride and returned home. After
that night, we continued to see each other often, watching movies,
eating meals (Anthony baked Kimberly a cake for her birthday), and
meeting each other's families.
A
year and a half later, just before Easter, Kimberly entered Anthony's
apartment to find an Easter egg scavenger hunt set up for her. She
moved from egg to egg, led by the poems Anthony had written. At the
end of the hunt, she found Anthony on his knee with a ring in his
hand. He asked her to marry him; of course, she said yes! We were
married in August ’08 and celebrated all night with everyone we love
around us.
As
a married couple, we simply like to spend time with each other whether
that be at a restaurant, the zoo, or on vacation. Mostly, we just love
to spend time at home together.
