Mary Faith and Tony’s love story began at St. Mary’s University during the whirlwind of final exams. Amid the stress of studying and countless cups of coffee, they discovered something special in each other. What started as casual study sessions soon blossomed into a deep connection, with late-night library sessions, FaceTime calls over Christmas break, and countless hours spent exploring San Antonio.

After a series of cherished memories—including birthdays, concerts, movies, and new adventures together—Tony found the courage to ask Mary Faith to be his girlfriend. From that moment on, their bond grew even stronger as they supported each other through the highs and lows of college life.

The culmination of their college journey came on March 22, 2024—a day filled with love, excitement, and milestones. Not only did they receive their class rings, but Tony also asked Mary Faith to be his forever. It was a perfect moment to celebrate their love, their hard work, and the promise of a bright future together.

As a couple, Mary Faith and Tony navigated the challenges of senior year: Mary Faith applied to graduate school while finishing her prerequisites, and Tony prepared for life after graduation. They found comfort in each other, providing unwavering support through this pivotal time.

Their relationship has only grown stronger over the years, especially as they faced the challenges of long distance during Mary Faith’s time at the University of Mary, where she’s now pursuing her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Meanwhile, Tony is building his career in San Antonio. The distance has only deepened their appreciation for each other, teaching them patience, resilience, and how truly committed they are to one another.

As they continue to write their story—whether in the same city or miles apart—they are reminded daily of how much they love each other and how important it is to create new memories together. This latest chapter, though different from the ones before, is just another beautiful part of their shared journey toward forever.
