Anita &​ Trent

Our Story

Anita and Trent met 10 years ago in Newport News, VA for the first time.

Anita had gone to dance and support her friends, who were musicians playing at a local bar.

Trent had gone to the same venue to meet up with a friend that had just returned from living across the country for several years.

Mistaking Trent for a friend, Anita approached him but quickly realized she was wrong and brushed it off with a bit of idle chit chat.

Trent’s friend eventually showed up and to Anita’s surprise, he was one her friends too.

This opened the door for a proper introduction and more conversation.

At the end of the night, Anita’s friend noticed she took a liking to Trent and invited him to her upcoming birthday party.

He agreed and as they went their separate ways, Trent’s friend exclaimed in a long and almost sing song voice “She likes you”!

Trent showed up to the birthday party and we continued to enjoy each other’s company.

Ten days later, Trent asked Anita if she wanted to “go steady”…

and after a decade together, they are getting married in November of this year.
