Our story

Anthony & Autumn first met online. Autumn was living in Pennsylvania at the time, and Anthony was living in Texas. They started talking every day and night. Anthony was so eager to sweep Autumn off her feet that he booked a trip to Pennsylvania, and that is when they met face-to-face on November 17th, 2023.

After Anthony returned to Texas, Autumn was so eager to see Anthony again that she started planning a trip to come to Texas. That’s when she realized she couldn’t keep only seeing Anthony on trips for a week or only be able to Facetime; she wanted to have an in-person relationship. So she asked Anthony if he wanted the same thing, and without hesitation, he said yes.

Anthony and Autumn started looking at apartments together. They soon realized that they would not be able to get into any apartment until January, and they were very eager to move in together. With the help of Anthony’s parents, Christine and Adam Clear, they welcomed Autumn into their home for a short time until the happy couple could get into their apartment.

Anthony and Autumn’s relationship has only grown since they moved in together. Through thick and thin, Anthony and Autumn have always been there for one another! They have gone on several trips together and have two fur babies, named Skye and Sunny.

The Clear family decided that for their family vacation, they wanted to go to Cancún, Mexico! They invited Valerie, Bella, and Nani Navejas to come along with them! It was Autumn and Anthony’s first international trip together, so they were super excited! The Clear family had a list of excursions that they had picked out, but Anthony knew that Autumn’s favorite would be swimming with Whale Sharks.

When the day came that the whole Cancún crew would go swim with the Whale Sharks, Anthony decided that this would be a once-in-a-lifetime activity, and he knew that Autumn’s favorite marine animal is Whale Sharks, and he knew that this would be the perfect way to propose to her. However, the tides had turned (get it!) and Anthony had to come up with a backup plan.

It was the last night the Cancún crew would be there. A fun photo-op the crew decided on would be a “white out” for one last hoorah. Everyone went to dinner, all dressed up and had a great time! After dinner, Anthony and Autumn followed Christine and Adam as they took one last walk on the beach. Anthony and Autumn slowed a bit to talk about all of the fun times and amazing memories they had made on the trip. They both agreed that this trip would be one to remember. Anthony got down on one knee and he proposed to Autumn on July 23rd, 2025!!

After they got engaged, so full of joy and excitement, the happy couple went to share the news! They told Christine and Adam first, and then they told Brandon, Matthew, and Bella at a fun game night titled “robes and wine night.”
