our story

Anthony and Raisa at dinner in Tulum

Date #3: Tulum, Mexico

It started simply enough — a first date in December 2021. The chemistry was instant, undeniable. A second date was planned, this one a little more deliberate. The third? Tulum, Mexico. What was supposed to be four days became seven, neither of them in any rush to leave.

From Tulum, they chased winter into Aspen. Then Miami. A few weeks later, in the unlikely but somehow perfect setting of a trade show in Las Vegas, Anthony made it official. At a Prosper Show after party, he asked Raisa to be his girlfriend.

What followed was four years of a life lived wide open. Brazil and London. Paris and Sydney. Croatia, Vietnam, Thailand. Months in the Bahamas. A second home in Estonia. Skiing 50+ times across multiple continents — including the slopes of Japan. Vegas, Zurich, San Juan, Jericoacoara, Oʻahu, Salt Lake City, Rio, Phuket. Hundreds of flights. Cities blurring into the best kind of routine.

These two don't slow down. They grew up together mid-flight.

Proposal #1: Oblix, London

In December 2025, Anthony proposed in London. (He'd find reasons to propose again. He couldn't help it.) When a trip to the Maldives turned into an unexpected two-week stay — marooned by circumstances, unbothered by them — it only confirmed what they'd always known: together, they're unstoppable.

Theirs is a love built on hard conversations and wild logistics, on pushing each other further and showing up fully. On the hunger to experience everything, and the understanding that it's better with the right person beside you.

Now, they're getting married in Brazil — where the wind is strong, the sea is warm, and the adventure is just beginning.

Lifted into the air on the beach

A quiet winter moment in Central Park

A kiss over turquoise water
Jumping for joy on the sand
Hands and the ring
Together by the ocean
Piggyback in the shallows
