Accommodations

HOW IT ALL BEGANEvan and Antonia met the old-fashioned way, at a bar, after both moving to Tampa Bay in early 2022. After that fateful night, it took some time and persistence (on Evan's part) before Antonia finally agreed to go on a date with him. He took her to Bonu, a little Italian restaurant in St. Pete, and the rest is history.

ET WORLD TOURBefore long, the ET World Tour began as they chased concerts, sporting events, beaches, and just about any excuse to see the world together. Somewhere along the way, they fell in love.

FOREVER WEDDING DATESEvan and Antonia have been each others' plus-ones to 18 weddings (and counting) to celebrate the love of their friends and family. Now it's their turn and they couldn't be more excited!

THE PROPOSALOn a magical trip to the South of France, Evan decided that he simply had to propose in the most beautiful place they had ever seen. There was one small problem - he didn't have a ring yet - so he went on a side quest to Eze and found a perfect little aquamarine ring that would do the trick. After secretly calling Antonia’s parents, coordinating with his sister Lauren, and working with a photographer who didn’t speak a lick of English, Evan led Antonia toward a rocky beach and pretended he wanted to see what the fishermen had caught. There, in a place that had quickly become so special to them, he proposed. She said yes. In a beautiful twist of fate, Antonia’s late grandmother had worn an aquamarine ring - and it felt like a sign from above. There was something so romantic about it all - how Evan was so moved to propose and made It happen, and how nothing else mattered but their love for each other.

HOME GAMEEvan and Antonia have settled into their first home in the Riverside neighborhood with their spirited hound dog, Finn.

THE COUNTDOWN IS ONThank you for traveling from near and far to celebrate Evan and Antonia in Jacksonville, Florida!
