Anthony and Andrea met in July 2013, the summer before beginning their freshman year of high school. Anthony's cousin, Anna Palmentere, introduced Anthony and Andrea. Coincidentally, Anthony also lived right across the street from Andrea's aunt and uncle. Although Anthony went to Rockhurst High School and Andrea went to St. Pius X High School, the two remained in contact throughout their freshman year. Andrea even asked Anthony to her very first high school dance the following February.

In June 2015, Anthony's family moved into Andrea's neighborhood. In fact, they had moved in just a few blocks away. Anthony and Andrea started dating in November of 2015 and have been inseparable ever since.

Almost a decade later, these two are more than ready to become husband and wife.
