Some couples bond over shared hobbies, others over inside jokes—Riley and Anthony have both, and then some. Their relationship is built on a foundation of deep friendship, endless laughter, and a effortless. Whether they’re strategizing their next video game move or pulling all-nighters with friends, they’ve created a life that’s uniquely theirs. And when it came time to say “I do,” they made sure their wedding reflected every bit of that magic.
A Love Built on Friendship and Fun
Ask Riley what she loves most about Anthony, and she’ll tell you it’s his quick wit and unwavering support. He knows exactly how to keep her smiling, even after the toughest days. Anthony, on the other hand, admires Riley’s passion and the way she lights up every room she walks into. She’s his joy, his laughter, and his greatest source of comfort. Together, they make the kind of couple you just know was meant to be.
A Moonlit Proposal (With a Surprise Fireworks Show!)
Anthony originally planned to propose on a birthday cruise, but when the ring was delayed, he had to pivot. The new plan? A heartfelt proposal on their annual family trip to Daytona Beach. After dinner with loved ones, he led Riley down to the shore under the moonlight, near the pier, and asked her to spend forever with him. And just as they started walking back, fireworks lit up the sky—a completely unplanned but absolutely perfect moment.
A Wedding That Was So Them
From start to finish, Riley and Anthony’s wedding was designed to reflect their journey. Every choice was intentional—from Riley’s stunning black dress to the Jordan’s they both wore down the aisle. Instead of traditional vows, they crafted their own, promising not just “til death do us part” but something even more meaningful: “When death takes my hand, I will hold you with the other and promise to find you in every lifetime.” Private vows allowed them to share an intimate moment—just the two of them, fully present, with no distractions.
A Breathtaking Garden Wedding
Riley and Anthony chose the stunning Sunken Gardens in St. Pete, Florida as the backdrop for their big day, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Nestled in the heart of the city, this lush botanical paradise is over a century old, with winding paths, vibrant tropical flowers, and cascading waterfalls that make it feel like stepping into another world. The natural beauty of the gardens added a romantic, almost enchanted feel to their ceremony, blending effortlessly with the heartfelt, personal touches they incorporated throughout the day. Surrounded by towering palms and the people they love most.
Cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure, you two! 🎮💍✨
