ENGAGED COUPLES
Ashley and Anthony have a short, but sweet, love story.
Although they dated for almost five years before getting
engaged, it was a simple courtship.
“Anthony and I met in 2011 at Palm Beach State College.
We were friends at first and in 2012 we started dating. That
Thanksgiving we told each other “Happy Thanksgiving”
and from that point on we have been with each other ever
since,” Ashley said.

Ashley Kowalski and
Anthony Billett
On Thanksgiving Day in 2017, two months before the
couple’s five-year anniversary, Anthony planned a proposal
before dinner began. They got together with their families,
and were going around the room, each saying what they
were thankful for. “Anthony started saying what he was
thankful for and after his speech he proposed to me in front
of everyone,” Ashley said.
The couple’s reception will be at the Wyndham hotel in
Deerfield Beach. They plan to honeymoon in Hawaii. ❤
On a balmy summer day in July of 2013, Nadine attended
a sales meeting that Stefan was conducting in Miami.
Both had worked for the same company for several years,
but hadn’t met until that day. As the saying goes, the rest is
history and Nadine and Stefan began dating. It was four and
half years later when Stefan proposed.
Nadine had a work conference in 2015 in Chicago and
fell in love with the city. She wanted to take Stefan, so she
booked a trip for the weekend of his birthday. Once the trip
was booked, Stefan went to work on his plan. “He apparently
setup a construction tour at night at the Willis Tower,” Nadine
said. “In the back of my mind I was thinking, What could
they be possibly constructing in this building and how am I
going to walk around in heels? We pulled up to the building
and the main entrance was under construction. We arrived
on the 103rd floor. I was stunned by the views and as we
stepped onto the Skydeck to take pictures, I hear ‘Babe, (my
response: Whaaat? I’m trying to take pictures) will you marry
me?’ The answer, of course, was yes.”
Nadine and Stefan pride themselves on being foodies. They
love to dine out, cook at home, and go to the movies.
The couple will celebrate their wedding in Costa Rica and
Florida. They hope to go to Australia for their honeymoon. ❤
