" Anthony Salvucci, 30 Hometown: Methuen, MA Profession: Firefighter Family: Married 8 years; father to Andrew, 12, and Dominic, 7, and stepfather to Adrian, 11, and Buddy, 10. Carrie Holley was a single mother of two when she took notice of Anthony&amp;#039;s sweet smile at a nightclub. &amp;quot;Even though we danced together before speaking a word, it wasn&amp;#039;t long before I learned that Anthony was marriage material when he invited my kids on our second date and was so accepting of them,&amp;quot; says Carrie, 30. &amp;quot;On our wedding day, two and a half years later, my son got pneumonia, and Anthony didn&amp;#039;t bat an eye at spending the night with him in the hospital. It was so caring.&amp;quot; Now Anthony coaches the children&amp;#039;s football and softball teams, and he instills in them the same strong work ethic that Carrie cherishes in her husband: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s worked so hard, first in the Army for four years, then as a paramedic, and now as a firefighter,&amp;quot; she says. Anthony might spend his days being a macho hero, but he&amp;#039;s got a soft side, too. &amp;quot;One anniversary he surprised me with tickets to a Phil Vassar concert,&amp;quot; explains Carrie. &amp;quot;When our special song came on, Anthony pulled me up and danced me down the center of the aisle while everyone watched. I was bright red, but also so touched.&amp;quot; Anthony lets Carrie know how much she means to him through little gestures, too: by letting her pick movies for date nights and whispering a sweet word to her as they pass in the hallway. &amp;quot;I know how lucky I am,&amp;quot; Carrie says. &amp;quot;I get to wake up every day knowing the joy of being with exactly the person I&amp;#039;m meant to be with.&amp;quot; Found your favorite guy?
