OCT. 20 – Julie Salazar and Anthony Bonito know about being in the right place at the right time. “Anthony was jogging on May 16, 2003, and when I heard him call my name, I looked over and I saw Anthony, who I haven’t seen since junior high school,” recalls Salazar, a teacher. The two got to chatting, and Bonito, a construction worker, asked her out the next day. The Brooklyn couple tied the knot at St. Columba Roman Catholic Church in their home borough, then celebrated at the Hudson River Yacht Club, joined by 80 guests. “It feels nice to wake up to a man who has such energy,” says the bride. “It’s like he can clear the clouds away and make it sunny.”
